The Vendeholten is a 2230 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises north of the Tverrbrekka pass in the Paulsen Mountains of the Sverdrupfjella .
The first aerial photos of the mountain were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers used aerial photographs and measurements by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) to re-map and named the mountain.
