The Firlingane (Norwegian for quadruplets ) are a group of four nunataks in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the mountains of Sør Rondane they rise between the Bulken and the Hesteskoen .
Norwegian cartographers, who also used the descriptive naming, mapped it in 1957 using aerial photographs taken by the United States Navy as part of Operation Highjump (1946–1947).
