The Raudberget (Norwegian for Red Mountain ) is a 2606 m high and striking mountain northeast of the Høgskavlen in the Borg massif on the Maudheimvidda in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land .
Norwegian cartographers mapped the mountain using geodetic surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952). The red color of the rocks of the mountain was decisive for the descriptive naming.
