Tschuffert Peak

Mountains

Tschuffert Peak is a prominent, isolated mountain peak in Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. It stands between Taylor Glacier and Chapman Ridge. Norwegian cartographers mapped it from aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen Expedition of 1936 to 1937, initially naming it Svartpiggen, meaning “the black peak”. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia later renamed it for meteorologist H. Tschuffert.
