Mount Chōtō ( Japanese 長 頭 山 Chōtō-zan , Norwegian Langskallane ; each for Langkopfberg ) is a mountain up to 378 m high with three peaks in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . On the Prince Harald Coast, it rises at the northern end of the Langhovde group of hills .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it based on aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . Measurements were made by participants in a Japanese Antarctic expedition carried out from 1957 to 1962 , which also named him descriptively. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated the Japanese name into English in 1968.
