The Tschuffert Peak is a distinctive and isolated mountain at the Mawson coast of the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It looms between the Taylor Glacier and the Chapman Ridge .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it using aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 and named it Svartpiggen (Norwegian for black tip ). The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it after the Vienna- born Australian meteorologist Helmut A. Tschuffert (* 1931), who worked at the Mawson station in 1958 .
