Mount Khmyznikov ( English ; Russian Гора Хмйзнкова Gora Chmisnikowa ) is a 2800 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Alexander von Humboldt Mountains of the Wohlthat massif, it rises in the northern section of the Skeidsnutane of the Betechtin Mountains .
He was discovered and photographed from the air during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). Scientists of a Soviet Antarctic expedition carried out from 1960 to 1961 mapped it again and named it after the Soviet hydrograph Pawel Konstantinowitsch Chmisnikow (1896–1943). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated this designation into English in 1970.
