The Gruvleflesa (from Norwegian, roughly translated, Toothed Island ) comprise two rocky hills in Queen Maud's East Antarctic Land . In the Kurzegebirge of the Orvinfjella they jut out of a moraine west of the Gruvletindane .
Norwegian cartographers, who named them descriptively, carved them on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
