Nergaard Peak

Nergaard Peak (Norwegian: Nergaardnuten)[1] (72°0′S 9°27′E / 72.000°S 9.450°E / -72.000; 9.450) is a peak (2,475 m) located 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Niels Peak (Nielsnapen)[2][3][4] in the Gagarin Mountains of Queen Maud Land.

Both Nergaard Peak and Niels Peak are named for Niels Nergaard, a scientific assistant with the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–58.

[3][4] Both names were proposed in 1967 by the Norwegian philologist Per Hovda (1908–1997).
