Mount Odin (77°34′53″S 161°37′11″E) is the most prominent peak, though not the highest, in the Asgard Range, of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It rises over 2,000 m (6,600 ft) just south of Lake Vanda. It was named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) (1958-59) for the Norse god Odin.[1] Odin Valley is immediately to the east.
