The Preikestolen (Norwegian for Predigerstuhl or Pulpit ) is a mountain ridge in Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . In the Ahlmannryggen it rises in the western part of the Liljequisthorga .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of 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).
