The Tverrseten (Norwegian for crossing seat ) is an icy mountain saddle in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In Sverdrupfjella it runs between Setenuten and Petrellfjellet .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of measurements and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
