Kvævefjellet ( Norwegian for Kesselberg ) is an elongated, 10 km long mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . At the northern end of the Payer Group, it is dominated by Mount Fučík , which has been eroded into a series of rock spurs as a result of the action of the ice , which enclose small basins .

The mountain was discovered and mapped using aerial photographs during the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939) under the direction of Alfred Ritscher . A new mapping based on surveys and further aerial photographs was carried out during the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
