Wilson Nunataks


Wilson Nunataks is an irregular string of nunataks about 8 nautical miles long, lying between the Douglas Peaks and the head of Hercules Inlet in the Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains. Named by the University of Minnesota Geological Party to these mountains, 1963–64, for Chief Warrant Officer Kenneth Wilson, pilot with the 62nd Transportation Detachment which assisted the party.
These nunataks are visible from the Hercules Inlet, a common starting point for long-distance expeditions trekking 1170km from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole.
