The Leabotnen is a cirque of Heimefrontfjella in East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It lies between the Holstnuten and the Rognnesegga in the Kottas Mountains .
Scientists at the Norwegian Polar Institute named him in 1969 after Rolv Lea (1891-1941), a leader of the resistance movement in Oslo against the German occupation of Norway in World War II , who was executed by the occupiers.
