The Brunsvighorten is a rocky outcrop in the Heimefrontfjella of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises west of Bieringmulen in Heimefrontfjella.
Scientists at the Norwegian Polar Institute named him in 1973 after Paal Brunsvig (1921–1988), a key figure in the resistance movement against the German occupation of Norway in Telemark during the Second World War .
