Raudberg in the Norwegian language means Red Mountain. Three terrain features in East Antarctica bear the name Raudberg:

1. Raudberg Pass
2. Raudberg Valley
3. Raudberget

Raudberg Pass

Raudberg Pass (72°38′S 3°22′W / 72.633°S 3.367°W / -72.633; -3.367) is a pass between Kulen Mountain and Raudberget in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–1952) and named for its proximity to Raudberget.

Raudberg Valley

Raudberg Valley (72°39′S 3°26′W / 72.650°S 3.433°W / -72.650; -3.433) is the main ice-filled valley, about 37 kilometres (20 nautical miles) long, extending northeastward through the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named for its proximity to Raudberget.^[1]

Dalsnuten Peak is a peak rising above the ice in the northeast part of Raudberg Valley.^[2]

Raudberget

Raudberget (72°38′S 3°30′W / 72.633°S 3.500°W / -72.633; -3.500) is a prominent mountain just northeast of Hogskavlen Mountain in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named Raudberget (the red mountain).
