Svleget ( Norwegian for throat ) is a mountain basin in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Kirwanveggen of Maudheimvidda it lies between the Tunga and the Uven .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped the mountain basin based on surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960), which were created between 1958 and 1959.
