A high, ice-capped mesa, 10 mi long and 1 to 3 mi wide, that forms the NE portion of Nilsen Plateau in the Queen Maud Mountains. The feature may have been seen by Amundsen in 1911, and it was observed and partially mapped by the ByrdAE of 1928-30 and 1933-35. It was mapped in detail by USGS from surveys and USN air photos, 1960-64. Named by US-ACAN after the Fram, the ship used by Amundsen's expedition of 1910-12.
