The Göstapiggane are a group of mountain peaks in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the southern section of the Ahlmannryggen they rise up as northeastern elevations of the Liljequisthorga .
Norwegian cartographers, who also gave the group its name, mapped it on the basis of measurements and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs that were taken between 1958 and 1959 during the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). It is named after the Swedish meteorologist Gösta Hjalmar Liljequist (1914–1995), participant in the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition.
