Mount Frödin ( Spanish Monte Frödin ) is an approximately 600 m high mountain on the Danco Coast of the West Antarctic Graham Lands . It rises 800 m east-southeast of Waterboat Point on the shores of Paradise Harbor .
The first to climb, the two British geologists Thomas Wyatt Bagshawe (1901–1976) and Maxime Charles Lester (1891–1957) during the British Imperial Antarctic Expedition (1920–1922), named it Mount Lunch-Ho! after lunch ( english lunch ), they had taken at the summit. Participants of the 5th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1950–1951) named it after the Swedish engineer Bertil Frödin, who carried out geological and glaciological studies on this research trip .
