The Smørstabben (Norwegian for butter churn pestle ) is an isolated nunatak in Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . In the Alexander von Humboldt Mountains of the Wohlthat massif, it rises 16 km west of the Eckhörner .

He was discovered and photographed from the air during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of measurements and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
