Discovery and naming

Mount Widerøe was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1946 from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named for Viggo Widerøe, airplane pilot of this expedition. It was remapped by the Norwegians in 1957 from air photos taken on USN Operation Highjump, 1946–47.[2]
