The Breplogen ( Norwegian for glacier plow ) is a 2725 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains on the western flank of the Austre Skorvebreen . Except for rocky outcrops on its north and east sides, the mountain is completely covered with ice.
