The Kjelbotnnuten is a 3210 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Sør Rondane mountains, it rises between the Isachsenfjella and Devoldnuten mountains .
Norwegian cartographers, who also gave this mountain its name, mapped it in 1957 using aerial photographs taken during the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947). It is named after the Norwegian polar explorer Olav Kornelius Kjelbotn (1898–1966), who explored the Princess Ragnhild coast by dog sled in 1933 together with Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen and Hallvard Ophus Devold (1898–1957) .
