Hjelmkalven (literally translated from Norwegian, the calf of the helmet ) is a rocky headland in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the mountains of Sør Rondane , it lies on the north side of Vesthjelmen and protrudes into the eastern flank of the mouth of Byrdbreen .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped the headland in 1946 and 1957 using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 and during the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947).
