Trollkjelneset (Norwegian for Troll kesselspitze ) is a headland occupied by an ice dome on the Princess Martha coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It separates the Krylvika Bay to the west from the mouth of the Jutulstraumen and the Fimbul Ice Shelf in the east.
Norwegian cartographers, who also named them, mapped them on the basis of aerial photographs and measurements of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) as well as aerial photographs from the years 1958 to 1959 of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition .
