Bergersenfjella is a 3170 m high mountain in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . It rises up in the mountains of Sør Rondane on the western flank of the Byrdbreen .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it on the basis of aerial photographs taken during the Antarctic voyage with the ship Thorshavn (1936–1937) financed by the Norwegian whaling company . A new mapping was carried out in 1957 using aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947). It is named after the Norwegian politician and diplomat Birger Bergersen (1891–1977), Chairman of the Norwegian Whaling Commission.
