Mjøllføykje (composed of Norwegian mjøll for powder snow and føykje for swirling snow ) is a striking cliff in Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . In Kirwanveggen it rises on the east side of the Belgen valley .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped the cliff using surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) from 1958 to 1959.
