Mygangget ( Norwegian ) is a rock face in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . It rises up at the southern end of Sivorgfjella in Heimefrontfjella .
Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute named it in 1987. It is named after the brothers Erling (1906–1977), Peder (1909–1943) and Sverre Myge (1913–1943), communist resistance fighters against the German occupation of Norway in World War II , of whom Peder and Sverre were murdered by the Gestapo after their imprisonment .
