Atoll Nunataks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atoll Nunataks () is a group of nunataks on the north side of Uranus Glacier, 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Mount Ariel, in eastern Alexander Island. The feature was mapped from trimetrogon air photography taken by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, and from survey by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1948-50. So named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because of the arrangement of the nunataks in a ring.
