The Hellhallet is a foreland glaciers at the Princess Astrid Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Lands . It is east of the Jutulstraumen and north of the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains .
The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, 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 (1956–1960). It is named after the Norwegian topographer and polar explorer Sigurd Helle (1920–2013), head of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition.
