Kjelbotn Peak is a peak, 3,210 metres (10,530 ft) high, standing between Isachsen Mountain and Devold Peak in the Sør Rondane Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named for Olav Kjelbotn, who with Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen and Hallvard Devold attempted sledge exploration of Princess Ragnhild Coast in 1933.[1]
