Tanngarden (Norwegian for row of teeth ) is a row of mountain peaks up to 2350 m high in Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . They rise up just north of Vikinghøgda and Widerøefjellet in the Sør Rondane Mountains .
Norwegian cartographers, who also used the descriptive naming, mapped it in 1957 using aerial photographs taken during the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947).
