Borg Mountain is a large, flattish, ice-topped mountain with many exposed rock cliffs, standing at the northern end of Borg Massif in Queen Maud Land. Borg Mountain and its features were mapped and named by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952). The original name Borga means "the castle".
