The Loze Mountain ( Russian Гора Лозе Gora Lose ) is a 2130 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises up from the west face of Grautskåla in the Alexander von Humboldt Mountains of the Wohlthat massif .
The mountain was discovered and roughly mapped using aerial photographs during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Further mappings followed based on surveys and aerial photographs during the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) and by participants in a Soviet Antarctic expedition (1960–1961). Ritscher gave the name Lose Platte to a formation that was later unidentifiable . This designation was transferred to English by the Soviet scientists on the mountain described here and in 1970 by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names . In Norway it is known as Lausflæet .
