Siegfried Peak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siegfried Peak (77°34′S, 161°46′E) is a peak that forms a saddle with Siegmund Peak immediately southward, standing at the east side of the entrance to Odin Valley in the Asgard Range. The peak is one in a group of features in the area named mainly from Norse mythology by New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC). Siegfried was the hero of various German legends, particularly of the Nibelungenlied.
