The Langnes Peninsula ( Norwegian Langneset , literally translated long promontory ) is a 14.5 km long, narrow and rocky peninsula on the Ingrid Christensen coast of the East Antarctic Princess Elisabeth Land . It is the northernmost of the three large peninsulas that make up the Vestfold Mountains.
Norwegian cartographers, who also did the descriptive naming, mapped them using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 .
