Marshall Nunatak

Marshall Nunatak (74°10′S 75°41′W) is a somewhat isolated rock nunatak, 23 nautical miles (43 km) east-southeast of the FitzGerald Bluffs in Ellsworth Land, Antarctica. It lies 9 nautical miles (17 km) east of Schwartz Peak and is the easternmost member in the chain of small summits located southeast of the bluffs. The nunatak was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William F. Marshall, a USGS Topographic Engineer in Antarctica, 1967–68.[1]
