Austkampane Hills

The Austkampane Hills are a group of hills rising to 2,210 meters (7,250 ft), standing 5 miles (8 km) north of Menipa Peak in the Sør Rondane Mountains of Antarctica. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1946 from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936–37) and in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47), and were named "Austkampane" (the "east crags") by the Norwegians.
