Vengen (Norwegian for wing ) is a 14 km long rock spur in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Sør Rondane Mountains , it extends from the eastern part of Widerøefjellet in a northerly direction.
Norwegian cartographers, who also made the name, mapped it in 1957 using aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947).
