Bleset ( Norwegian for flame ) is a rock formation in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . It projects 8 km east-southeast of the mountain ends in the Kirwanveggen and dominates the watershed between the valleys Utråkket and Belgen .
Norwegian cartographers, who also gave the formation its name, mapped it using aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and others that were taken between 1958 and 1959 during the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
