The Gluvrekletten ( Norwegian for glacier rock ) is a 2200 m high mountain in Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . In Gjelsvikfjella it rises between Terningskarvet and Nupskammen .
The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers, who also made the name, mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
