Veobrehesten is the 61st highest mountain in Norway, and the last of the Norwegian peaks higher than 2000 meters to be ascended, in 1949. The mountain is a nunatak standing in the middle of the glacier under the Leirhøi mountain. Its late ascent is due to this remote location, and the rather challenging approach.
The name
The first element is the name of the glacier Veobreen, the last element is the finite form of hest m 'horse' (several mountains in Norway are named after animals). The name of the glacier is a compound of the rivername Veo and the finite form of bre m 'glacier'. The rivername (Old Norse Viða) is derived from viðr m 'wood, forest'.
