WikiMiniAtlasThe mountain was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1997 after Osmund Holm-Hansen, a plant physiologist, who, working in the 1959–60 season, was one of the first American scientists to visit and conduct research in both Taylor Valley and Wright Valley.[1] Bifrost Ledge was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board in 1998, in association with names from Norse mythology in Asgard Range, Bifröst being a “bridge” linking Asgard (home of the gods) with earth.[2]
