释义 | Mount Wisting ({{coord|86|27|S|165|26|W|display=inline,title}}) is a rock peak (2,580 m), the northwesternmost summit of the massif at the head of Amundsen Glacier in the Queen Maud Mountains. In November 1911, a number of mountain peaks in this general vicinity were observed and rudely positioned by the South Pole Party under Roald Amundsen. Amundsen named one of them for Oscar Wisting, a member of the party. The peak described was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photography, 1960-64. For the sake of historical continuity and to commemorate the Norwegian exploration in this area, the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) has selected this feature to be designated Mount Wisting. Other peaks in the massif have been named for members of Amundsen's South Pole Party. {{usgs-gazetteer}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Wisting, Mount}}{{Ross-mountain-stub}} 2 : Mountains of the Ross Dependency|Amundsen Coast |
