The Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains (de|Mühlig-Hofmann-Gebirge) is a major group of associated mountain features extending east to west for 100km (100miles) between the Gjelsvik Mountains and the Orvin Mountains in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica. With its summit at 3148m (10,328feet), the massive Jøkulkyrkja Mountain forms the highest point in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains.
The Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains were discovered by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938-1939), led by Capt. Alfred Ritscher, and named for the division director of the German Air Ministry. They were remapped by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956-1960.[1]
