Kvithovden Peak is a peak at the north end of Kvitkjolen Ridge in the Sverdrup Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was photographed from the air by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39).

Storkletten Peak is an ice-free mountain 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) south of Flarjuven Bluff on the Ahlmann Ridge in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named Storkletten, meaning the big, steep mountain.
Storknolten Peak is a peak about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) west of Muller Crest at the south end of the Filchner Mountains, Queen Maud Land. Photographed from the air by the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39).

Mount Hochlin is a large ice-topped mountain, 2,760 metres (9,060 ft) high, standing east of Festninga Mountain in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.

Hochlin, a radio operator and dog driver with the expedition (1956–58).
Tverrseten Col is an ice col between Setenuten Peak and Petrellfjellet in the Muhlig-Hofmann Mountains, Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Tverrseten.
Kjellberg Peak is a small rock peak at the head of Frostlendet Valley, about 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of Ryvingen Peak, in the southern part of the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.
