Rustad Knoll (54°28′S 3°23′E / 54.467°S 3.383°E / -54.467; 3.383) is a rounded, snow-topped elevation (365 m) which surmounts the south shore of the island of Bouvetøya immediately east of Cato Point. First charted in 1898 by a German expedition under Carl Chun.[1] The knoll was recharted in December 1927 by the Norvegia expedition under Captain Harald Horntvedt.[2] They named it for Ditlef Rustad who was in charge of the biological research of the expedition.[3]
