The Migmatitovaya Rock ( Russian Скала Мигматитовая Skala Migmatitowaja , Norwegian Migmatittknausen , both sides translated Migmatitfelsen ) is a rock formation in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . The rock rises 5 km northeast of Terletskiy Peak at the end of a rock spur in the Shcherbakov Mountains of Orvinfjella .
Aerial photographs of the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher were used for the first rough mapping. Norwegian cartographers mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). Participants in a Soviet Antarctic expedition that lasted from 1960 to 1961 mapped it again and named it. It is named after the predominant migmatite rock here . The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the Russian designation in 1970 in a partial translation into English.
