The Joungane (Norwegian for Young Skuas ) are a mountain range made up of four small mountains in Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . In the Sverdrupfjella they tower north of the Storjoen .
Aerial photos were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers, who also named them, mapped them based on surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs from the years 1958 to 1959 of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
