The Komsbreen is an 8 km long glacier in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the mountains of Sør Rondane, it flows north between Mefjell and Komsa .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it descriptively, mapped it in 1957 using aerial photographs taken during the US operation Highjump (1946–1947). It is named after the similarity with a cradle , as it has been used by the Sami since the times of the Komsa culture .
