The Krogh-Johanssenberga ( Norwegian ) are rocky outcrops in the Heimefrontfjella of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . They rise from the ice in the south-western part of Sivorgfjella .
Scientists at the Norwegian Polar Institute named it in 1969 after the businessman Arne Krogh-Johanssen (1888-1940s), one of the first organizers of the resistance movement against the German occupation of Norway in World War II , who had died in a German concentration camp .
