The Tankobu peak (of Japanese たんこぶ山 Tankobu-yama , German , Rugged Mountain ' ; Norwegian Kaunen , bump' ) is a 155 m high, bare and rocky mountain at the Prince Harald Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Lands . It marks the northern branch of the Byvågåsane on the east bank of the Lützow-Holm Bay .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it based on aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . Participants in a Japanese Antarctic expedition that lasted from 1957 to 1962 carried out measurements and the naming. The latter was translated into English by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1968.
