The pukkelen (Norwegian for hump ) are a group of rocky outcrops in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the mountains of Sør Rondane they tower west of the Bollene near the head of the Byrdbreen .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named them descriptively, mapped the rocks in 1957 using aerial photographs taken during the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947).
