The Bommen is a rock spur or small mountain ridge in the Borg massif of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It stretches from Jøkulskarvet to the Flogstallen .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952). The Norwegian name means something like "beam" or "turnpike".
