Lindstrøm Peak is a 2640 m high mountain in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It rises 3 km northwest of Mount Kristensen on the west side of the Nilsen Plateau in the Queen Maud Mountains .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 1967 after Adolf Henrik Lindstrøm (1866-1937), cook and carpenter on the South Pole expedition (1910-1912) of the Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen . The committee thus preserved Amundsen's designation of an unidentifiable Mount A. Lindstrøm in this area.
