The Rogerstoppane (Norwegian for Rogers Summit ) are a small group of mountain peaks in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Sør Rondane mountains they rise up immediately southwest of Dufekfjellet .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named them, mapped them in 1957 using aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947). It is named after William J. Rogers Jr., aircraft commander in Operation Highjump for the creation of aerial photographs in this and other coastal areas in Antarctica between the 14th and the 164th east longitude.
