The Pervomayskaya Peak ( Russian Гора Первомайская Gora Perwomaiskaja , German , first-May-mountain ' ) is a 2,795 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Wohlthatmassiv it rises 1.5 km northeast of the Skarshovden in the center of the Alexander von Humboldt 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). Participants in a Soviet Antarctic expedition (1960–1961) carried out a new mapping and naming. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated the Russian name into English in 1970.
