The Rieber-Mohnberget is a partially snow-covered nunatak in the Heimefrontfjella of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises from the south-western part of Milorgfjella .
Scientists at the Norwegian Polar Institute named him in 1988 after the lawyer Fredrik Wesenberg Rieber-Mohn (1892-1944), a leader of the military resistance in mountains against the German occupation of Norway in World War II , who on May 30, 1944 in the Natzweiler-Struthof had died .
