The Urnosa ( Norwegian for scree nose ) is a rock spur in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . It rises on the west side of the Urfjelldokka valley in the south-western part of Kirwanveggen in Maudheimvidda .
Norwegian cartographers named it descriptively and mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
