Henry Nunataks

The Henry Nunataks (75°8′S 72°36′W) are a cluster of nunataks located 6 nautical miles (11 km) west of the Merrick Mountains in Palmer Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67, and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for K.C. Henry, an engineman with the Eights Station winter party in 1963.[1]
