Utsteinen Nunatak
Utsteinen Nunatak is a rocky peak in Antarctica, about 4 nautical miles (7 km) north of Viking Heights in the main part of the Sør Rondane Mountains, Queen Maud Land. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1957 from air photos taken during U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47) and named Utsteinen, meaning "the outer stone," because of its position. The Belgian research station Princess Elisabeth was built at Utsteinen Nunatak during the International Polar Year 2007–2008. Coordinates: 71°58′S 23°34′E.
