The Nurket (Norwegian for pygmy ) is a rocky outcrop in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Kirwanveggen of Maudheimvidda it rises up immediately east of the Hallgrenskarvet .
Norwegian cartographers named the rock and mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952).
