The Friedmann Peak is a striking and 1920 m high mountain in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Darwin Mountains, it looms in the center of Kennett Ridge .

The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountain in 2001 after the microbiologist Roseli Ocampo Friedmann (1937-2005) from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University , who was active in five Antarctic summer campaigns in the Antarctic dry valleys and in 1976 together with her husband Imre Friedmann ( 1921–2007) was able to detect endolithic microorganisms in the sandstone layers of the so-called Beacon Supergroup .
