The Terletskiy Peak ( Russian Гора Терлецкого Gora Terlezkowo , German , Terlezkiberg ' , Norwegian Terleckijtoppen , Terlezkispitze' ) is a 2,505 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Shcherbakov Mountains of the Orvinfjella it rises 2.7 km northwest of the Chervov Peak .
Aerial photographs of the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher were used for the first rough mapping. 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 that lasted from 1960 to 1961 mapped it again and named it after the Soviet hydrograph N. A. Terlezki (1910–1954).
