The Tanna ( Norwegian for tooth ) is a mountain in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Sverdrupfjella it rises on the east side of the mouth of the Rogstad Glacier .
The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939). Norwegian cartographers, who also named it descriptively, mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE, 1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) from 1958 to 1959.
