The Hoitanna, or the "The Hollow Tooth" as it is called in Norwegian, rises to 2,650 metres. It is capped by vertical twin peaks which, resemble the huge rock faces of Yosemite (USA) or of the Fitzroy (Patagonia). The peaks of the Holtanna (which lies in the Orvin Mountain Range of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica), rise to more than 800 metres above the icecap. This
granite rock formation is characteristic of the Antarctic landscape,
and the chain of mountains to which it belongs, encircles the 6th continent
on almost all of its periphery.
