Gburek Peaks
The
Gburek
Peaks
are a group of rocky
elevations
including
Straumsvola Mountain
and
Jutulrora Mountain
, forming the
western
end of the
Sverdrup Mountains
in
Queen Maud Land
,
Antarctica
. They were
discovered
by the
Third German Antarctic Expedition
under
Alfred Ritscher
, 1938–39, and named for
Leo Gburek
,
geophysicist
on the
expedition
. The name Gburek is here
restricted
to the westernmost
peaks
of those so named on
maps
of the German
Expedition
, these being
clearly
recognizable
on detailed maps by the
Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition
, 1949–52, and
subsequent
Norwegian
expeditions
.
