The Wallnerspitze is a prominent peak with a height of 1955 m (according to other information 1429 m or approx. 1730 m ) in the massif of the Vikenegga in the Kottas Mountains in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . The Wallnerspitze was named after the geophysicist Klaus Wallner , who had a fatal accident as a scientist on the Georg von Neumayer station in 1983.
Geologically, the Wallnerspitze is made up of coarse-grained Augengneisen of granodioritic composition, in which meter-thick layers of dark amphibolites are embedded.
