The rhinoceros calvans ( Norwegian for rhinoceros calves ) are rocky outcrops in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . They rise 3 km north of the Nashornet on the south side of the Viddalen .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named them, mapped them using surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs that were taken between 1958 and 1959 during the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
