Mount Hanssen (85°59′S 164°28′W) is an ice-covered mountain distinguished by a sharp peak, 3,280 metres (10,760 ft) high, standing at the southernmost point of Rawson Plateau in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was discovered by Captain Roald Amundsen while en route to the South Pole in November 1911, and named by him for Helmer Hanssen, deputy leader of the South Pole party.
