Antarcticfjellet is a mountain range at the island of Bjørnøya of the Svalbard archipelago, Norway. The highest peak in the range has a height of 360 m.a.s.l.. It is named after the Swedish expedition vessel Antarctic.[1] The mountain range has given name to the geological unit Antarcticfjellet Formation, which is exposed over significant portions of the range.[2]
