Goodspeed Nunataks

The Goodspeed Nunataks (73°0′S 61°10′E / 73.000°S 61.167°E / -73.000; 61.167Coordinates: 73°0′S 61°10′E / 73.000°S 61.167°E / -73.000; 61.167) are a group of three rows of nunataks, oriented approximately east–west and 10 to 15 miles (16 to 24 km) long, located at the west end of Fisher Glacier, about 30 miles (50 km) west-northwest of Mount McCauley, in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. They were sighted by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions seismic party led by K.B. Mather in January 1958, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after M.J. Goodspeed, a geophysicist at Mawson Station in 1957.[1]
