The Storfallet ( Norwegian for large slope ) is a large and, for example, very steep glacier slope in the Brestupet in the southeast of the West Antarctic Peter I Island . It runs from Lars Christensentoppen in a south-easterly direction between the Vestryggen and Austryggen to the Vostok coast .
Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute named it in 1987.
