Ulvetanna is a sharp, isolated rock spire in the Fenriskjeften range of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, rising to 2,931 meters. Its steep, pointed form earned it a name meaning wolf's tooth in Norwegian, and it is often compared to the Matterhorn for its dramatic shape. A mile long northeast ridge leading to its summit is considered one of the last great unclimbed-style challenges in mountaineering, making Ulvetanna one of the most technically demanding peaks in Antarctica.
