Raudberg (Antarctica)
Raudberg in the Norwegian language means Red Mountain. Three terrain features in East Antarctica bear the name Raudberg:
- Raudberg Pass
- Raudberg Valley
- Raudberget
Raudberg Pass
Raudberg Pass (72°38′S 3°22′W / 72.633°S 3.367°W) is a pass between Kulen Mountain and Raudberget in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named for its proximity to Raudberget.
Raudberg Valley
Raudberg Valley (72°39′S 3°26′W / 72.650°S 3.433°W) is the main ice-filled valley, about 20 nautical miles (37 km) long, extending northeastward through the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named for its proximity to Raudberget.[1]
Raudberget
Raudberget (72°38′S 3°30′W / 72.633°S 3.500°W) is a prominent mountain just northeast of Hogskavlen Mountain in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named Raudberget (the red mountain).
