The Hamrane ( English Hamrane Heights ) are an ice-free mountain range in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In Sverdrupfjella they separate Skarsdalen from Heibreen .
The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939). Norwegian cartographers mapped them using geodetic surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE, 1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). Its descriptive Norwegian name means something like "rocky cliffs".
