Hogfonna Mountain (72°45′S, 3°33′W) is a high, flat, snow-topped mountain with sheer rock sides, standing 3 miles (4.8 km) southeast of Hogskavlen Mountain in the Borg Massif, Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949-52) and named Hogfonna (the high snowfield).
