The Storkvarvet ( Norwegian for large pyre ) is a 3020 m high mountain in the Geßnerspitze in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . At the northeastern end of the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains, it rises north of the Habermehl summit .

The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers, who also named it descriptively, mapped it on the basis of aerial photographs and measurements of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
