The Jutulgryta (Norwegian for giant cauldron ) is a glacier field criss-crossed with crevasses on the Princess Martha coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It lies on the east side of the mouth of the Jutulstraumen in the Fimbul Ice Shelf .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it based on surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) from 1958 to 1959.
