Anywhere else on Earth these peaks would be a national park,' says [photographer] Gordon [Wiltsie] of the crags of Fenriskjeften—'the Jaw of Fenris' in Norwegian. Evoking a row of flesh-tearing teeth, they get their telling name from a fierce wolf in Norse myth.

—From "On the Edge of Antarctica: Queen Maud Land," February 1998, National Geographic magazine
