Skarvhalsen (Norwegian for Karger Bergnacken ) is an icy mountain saddle in Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . In the Kirwanveggen it lies between the Peterbreen and the Swithinbankhallet immediately south of the Neumayer steep face .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs that were taken between 1958 and 1959 during the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
