The Slabotnen (Norwegian for slope boiler ) is a mountain boiler in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Orvinfjella it lies between the eastern slopes of the Dallmann Mountains and the Shcherbakow Mountains .
Participants in the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher discovered and photographed him from the air. Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of aerial photographs and measurements of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
