The Neumayereishöcker ( Norwegian Neumayerryggane ) are permanent glacial faults on the surface of the Ekström Ice Shelf on the Princess Martha Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . They tower west of Atka Bay .
Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute named it in 1989, based on the neighboring Neumayer Station , after the German geophysicist Georg von Neumayer (1826–1909).
