The Heimefront Range is a range of mountains in three groups trending northeast–southwest for 65 nautical miles (120 km), situated 50 nautical miles (93 km) west-southwest of the Kirwan Escarpment in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. The range was observed and photographed by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition in the course of air reconnaissance from Maudheim Station in January 1952. The name "Heimefrontfjella" (homefront range) was applied by the placename authority in the Norwegian government. This range may include the crudely mapped mountains identified as "Kottas Berge" on the map of the Third German Antarctic Expedition of 1938–39.[1]

Wide glaciers divide the Heimefront Range in four ice free areas. These are, from north east to south west: Milorgfjella (Kottas Berge, Milorg Mountains), XU-fjella (XU Mountains), Sivorgfjella and Tottan Hills.

Die Heimefrontfjella ist ein 150 km langes Gebirge in der Ostantarktis, das sich von etwa 13° bis 9°15′W und von 74°15′ bis 75°15′S über eine Fläche von 3900 km² in Nordost-Südwest-Richtung erstreckt. Die Heimefrontfjella liegt im westlichsten Teil des von Norwegen beanspruchten Königin-Maud-Landes. Durch breite Gletscher wird die Heimefrontfjella in vier eisfreie Gebirgsteile gegliedert. Dies sind von Nordost nach Südwest die Kottasberge (norweg. Milorgfjella), XU-Fjella, Sivorgfjella und Tottanfjella.
