The Hånuten ( Norwegian for Haispitze ), also known as Shark peak , is an isolated Nunatak with two peaks, which are connected by a ridge. In the East Antarctic Mac-Robertson-Land it rises 6 km south-southwest of the Van-Hulssen-Nunatak in the Framnes Mountains .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it descriptively, mapped it using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) translated this designation into English on August 10, 1966.
