The Mount Mirotvortsev ( Russian Гора Миротворцева Gora Mirotworzewa ) is a 2,830 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises 2.5 km northeast of Mount Neustruyev in the southern Petermann range of the Wohlthat massif .
The mountain was discovered and first mapped during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers carried out a new mapping based on aerial photographs and measurements made by the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). Participants in a Soviet Antarctic expedition (1960–1961) named him after the Soviet geographer and explorer Klawdi Nikolajewitsch Mirotworzew (1880–1950). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated this designation into English in 1970.
