History

At the time of Lauge Koch's 1949-51 expeditions this summit was named after Margareta Hediger by American geologist John Haller, [1] a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. [3]

The peak is marked as "Margaretatopp" [4] and "Margarita Spids" in some maps. [1] Margaretasø is a small lake in neighboring Rendal at 73°25.5′N26°39.0′W / 73.4250°N 26.6500°W / 73.4250; -26.6500 where the reflection of the mountain can be seen on its surface. This lake was named by John Haller after the same person. [1]
