Weyprecht Mountains
Weyprecht Mountains is a small group of mountains about west of the Payer Mountains, forming the western half of the Hoel Mountains in Queen [Maud Land].
They were discovered by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, led by Capt. Alfred Ritscher, and named for Karl Weyprecht, Austrian polar explorer who in company with Julius Payer discovered Franz [Josef Land] in 1873, and who initiated the first International [Polar Year] expedition in 1882-83.
