The Bjørnsaksa (Norwegian for bear trap ) is a rock spur in Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . In the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains it extends from the Skigarden in a north-westerly direction.
Norwegian cartographers mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). It is named after Bjørn Grytøyr (* 1933), research assistant on this research trip from 1956 to 1958.
