The Rømlingane ( Norwegian for outliers ) are a mountain range in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . They rise up on the west side of the Vendeholten mountain in Sverdrupfjella .
This mountain range was photographed from the air during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar researcher Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers named them descriptively after their geographical location and mapped them using surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
