Mount Caroline Mikkelsen (69°45′S 74°24′E) is a small coastal mountain of 235 metres (770 ft) between Hargreaves Glacier and Polar Times Glacier on Ingrid Christensen Coast. The mountain overlooks the southern extremity of Prydz Bay, 4 nautical miles (7 km) north-northwest of Svarthausen Nunatak, and is the highest summit in the vicinity. It was discovered February 20, 1935 by Captain Klarius Mikkelsen in the Thorshavn, a Norwegian whaling ship sent out by Lars Christensen. It is named for Captain Mikkelsen's wife Caroline Mikkelsen, who accompanied her husband on this voyage and became the first woman to set foot on Antarctica.
