The Oddenskjera ( Norwegian ; Russian Скалы Губкина Skaly Gubkina , German 'Gubkinfelsen' ) are a group of Nunatakkern in the Wohlthatmassif of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . They rise up between the eastern Petermann chain and the Otto von Gruber mountains .
Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute named them in 1968 after Major Gudmund Odden, navigator and head of the air operations carried out between 1958 and 1959 on the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956-1960). The namesake of the Russian name is the Russian or Soviet geologist Iwan Michailowitsch Gubkin (1871-1939).
