The Tua ( Norwegian for Knubbel ) is an isolated rock in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . It rises 5 km west of Mount Brattskarvet in the Bruns Mountains of Sverdrupfjella .
Norwegian cartographers named it descriptively after its appearance and 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).
