The Tanglefoot Peak (English for Fußfallenspitze is) an approximately 650 m high mountain on the Loubet coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Arrowsmith Peninsula, it looms at the northern end of Haslam Heights .
The first sighting of the mountain probably goes back to participants in the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908–1910) under the direction of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot , who roughly mapped this area in 1909. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out measurements and naming in 1948. It is named after a rugged ridge that extends south and south-east of this mountain.
