The Nordtoppen (Norwegian for north summit ) is a 1,100 m high nunatak in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the mountains of Sør Rondane it rises 26 km north of the Austkampane .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named the Nunatak, mapped it in 1946 using aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 and in 1957 using the same aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947).
