Mount Wideroe

Mount Wideroe (coord|72|8|S|23|30|E|) is a large mountain rising to 3,180 m between Mount Walnum and Mount Nils Larsen in the Sor Rondane Mountains on the continent of Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1946 from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, and named for Viggo Wideroe, airplane pilot of this expedition. It was remapped by the Norwegians in 1957 from air photos taken on USN Operation Highjump, 1946-47.
