GrautskÃÂ¥la Cirque () is a cirque immediately north of The Altar in the Humboldt Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.
GrautskÃÂ¥la Cirque was discovered and mapped from air photos by the German Antarctic Expedition (1938âÂÂ1939) (GerAE). It was remapped by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956âÂÂ60 (NorAE), and named GrautskÃÂ¥la (the mash bowl) because of its appearance and association with nearby Schüssel Cirque.
Features in and around the GrautskÃÂ¥la Cirque include Loze Mountain to the west, Sponskaftet Spur, Mount Kurchatov, The Altar and Altarduken Glacier to the south, and Mechnikov Peak to the east.
