The Rømlingsletta (Norwegian for refugee level ) is an approximately 60 km² large and icy level in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Sverdrupfjella it is north of the Isingen .

The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers, who also made the name, mapped it 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) from 1958 to 1959.
