The Brattskarvet ( Norwegian for Steep Mountain ) is a 2100 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises just north of Mount Vendeholten in Sverdrupfjella .
The mountain was photographed from the air during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers named it descriptively after its appearance and mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
