The Butuzoflya ( Norwegian ; Japanese 仏 像 平 Butuzô-daira , German 'Flat Buddha' ) is a hill with a flattened summit in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the mountains of Sør Rondane it rises in the Balchenfjella at the northern foothills of the Berrheia .
Aerial photos were taken during Japanese expeditions between 1981 and 1982 and 1987. It was also Japanese scientists who mapped the hill between 1987 and 1988 and named it in 1989. Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute translated the name into Norwegian in 1990.
