History
At the time of Lauge Koch's 1949–51 expeditions this summit was named after Margareta Hediger by American geologist John Haller, a Fellow of the Geological Society of America.
The peak is marked as "Margaretatopp" and "Margarita Spids" in some maps.

This lake was named by John Haller after the same person.
