The Stone Nabben ( Norwegian ) is a small nunatak in the Heimefrontfjella of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . At the north-western end of Sivorgfjella it rises on the north side of the Boyesennuten .
Scientists at the Norwegian Polar Institute named it in 1987. It is named after the Norwegian postal worker Kristian Elias Torbjørnsen Stein (1901–1943), an early resistance fighter against the German occupation of Norway in World War II .
