The Thälmannberge ( Russian горы Тельман Gory Telman ) are a group of mountains in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . They rise up between the Flogeken glacier and the Vestre Skorvebreen in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains .
They were mapped using measurements and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). A new mapping and naming was carried out by participants in a Soviet Antarctic expedition in 1961. It is named after the German communist leader Ernst Thälmann (1886–1944). Probably correspond to the mountains of the group which in the Antarctic German expedition 1938-39 under the direction of the polar explorer Alfred Ritscher as Gruber mountains was named.
