The Terningen ( Norwegian for cube ) is a small and 2,680 m high mountain peak in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the south-eastern part of Gjelsvikfjella it forms the highest point of the Sauterriegel .

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 surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) from the years 1958 to 1959.
