The Pingvinane (Norwegian for penguins ) are a group of nunataks in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the mountains of Sør Rondane they rise up immediately north of the Tanngarden .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named them, mapped them in 1957 using aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947).
