'''Mount Gjertsen''' ({{coor dm|86|40|S|148|27|W|}}) is a [[mountain]], 2,420 m, standing 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of [[Mount Grier]] in the [[La Gorce Mountains]], [[Queen Maud Mountains]]. Discovered in December 1934 by the [[Byrd Antarctic Expedition]] geological party under [[Quin Blackburn]], and so named in an attempt to reconcile Byrd's discoveries with the names applied by [[Roald Amundsen]] in 1911-12. Amundsen had named a mountain in the general vicinity for Lieutenant Hj.[[F. Gjertsen]] of the [[Norwegian Navy]], who was second mate on Amundsen's ship Fram and later ice pilot for the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933-35.
