Tvetaggen Peaks (71°45′S 25°17′E) is a short line of peaks standing 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) north of Austkampane Hills on the west side of Kamp Glacier, in the Sor Rondane Mountains. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named Tvetaggen (the double prongs) because of their appearance.
