The Jutulstraumen is a large, approximately 200 km long glacier on the Princess Martha coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It flows in a northerly direction between the Kirwanveggen , the Borg massif and the Ahlmannryggen in the west and the Sverdrupfjella in the east to the Fimbul Ice Shelf .

Norwegian cartographers 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). The name of the glacier, borrowed from Norwegian , means something like "large river".
