The Kibergbreen is a 35 km long glacier in the Heimefrontfjella of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It lies between the Sivorgfjella and the Tottanfjella .
Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute named it in 1990 based on the name of the neighboring Kibergdalen . This is named after the village of Kiberg in the Norwegian Finnmark , which played a key role in passing on information to the Soviet Union in the fight against the German occupation of Norway in World War II .
