The Tufsane ( Norwegian for trifles ; Russian Пики Бунина Piki Bunina , German 'Bunin -spitze ' ) are a group of Nunatakkern in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . They rise up in the south of the Dufek massif in the south-central part of Sør Rondane .
Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute named it in 1988. The name giver of the Russian name is not known. It is probably the Russian writer and poet Ivan Alexejewitsch Bunin (1870–1953).
