Mount Stubberud (86°7′S 158°45′W / 86.117°S 158.750°W / -86.117; -158.750Coordinates: 86°7′S 158°45′W / 86.117°S 158.750°W / -86.117; -158.750) is a mountain, 2,970 m, standing 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southeast of Beck Peak on a ridge from the north side of Nilsen Plateau, in the Queen Maud Mountains. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-64. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Jorgen Stubberud, carpenter on the ship Fram and member of the land party at Framheim on Amundsen's expedition of 1910-12. This naming preserves the spirit of Amundsen's 1911 commemoration of "Mount J. Stubberud," a name applied for an unidentifiable mountain in the general area.
