The Skarsnuten ( Norwegian for Schartengipfel ) is a mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Sverdrupfjella it rises in the northern part of the Rootshorga .
The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939) under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of aerial photographs and surveys of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) as well as aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) from 1958 to 1959.
