The Troll Mountain is a low mountain on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Iceland , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . The dome-shaped mountain rises in the center of the southern mountains , west of the 135 m high Clement Hill ; at its southeastern foot springs of the Petrel stream formed by the Petrel Lake in the Hydrographers Cove flows.
As part of two German expeditions to the Fildes Peninsula in 1981/82 and 1983/84 under the direction of Dietrich Barsch (1936–2018; Geographical Institute of the University of Heidelberg ) and Gerhard Stäblein (1939–1993; Geomorphological Laboratory of the Free University of Berlin ), the mountain was renamed along with numerous other hitherto unnamed geographic features of the Fildes peninsula and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic research reported (Scientific Committee on Antarctic research, SCAR).
Remarks
- ↑ if one compares the coordinates of the two mountains rounded to whole angular minutes; it can also be two peaks of the same mountain that are apparently far apart due to the rounding, since no mountain east of the Trollberg is shown on the German map from 1984.
