The Isingen ( English Isingen Mountain ) is an icy massif with several rock peaks in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises between the Isingbreen and the Rogstad glacier in Sverdrupfjella .
The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939). Norwegian cartographers mapped it using aerial photographs taken by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE, 1949–1952) and the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). Its descriptive Norwegian name means something like "the icy one".
