Mount Neustruyev ( English , Russian Гора Неуструева Gora Neustrujewa , Norwegian Neustruevfjellet ) is a 2900 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises 8 km north-northeast of the Gneiskopf in the southern Petermann chain 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 Sergei Semjonowitsch Neustrujew (1874–1928). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated this designation into English in 1970. Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute translated it into Norwegian in 1991.
