Skarvsnes (Norwegian for Barren Foreland ) is a sweeping headland or peninsula on the Prince Harald Coast of Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . It is towered over by bare rock peaks and advances into the eastern part of the Lützow-Holm-Bucht . There are several small bays on its banks.
Norwegian cartographers, who also did the descriptive naming, mapped them using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 .
