Enceladus Nunataks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enceladus Nunataks () is a group of about eight nunataks scattered over a wide area at the head of the drainage basin of Saturn Glacier, in southern Alexander Island. 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. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) from association with Saturn Glacier, Enceladus being one of the moons of the planet Saturn.
