Exploration and naming

Grautskåla Cirque was discovered and mapped from air photos by the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939) (GerAE). It was remapped by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60 (NorAE), and named Grautskåla (the mash bowl) because of its appearance and association with nearby Schüssel Cirque.Шаблон:Sfn
