Heksegryta ( Norwegian for cauldron ) is a group of mountain peaks in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica . They rise up between the Belgen valley and the Tverreggbreen in the Kirwanveggen of Maudheimvidda .
Norwegian cartographers gave the group a descriptive name and mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition .
