Mauger Nunatak

Mauger Nunatak (85°44′S 176°44′E) is a nunatak, 2,780 metres (9,120 ft) high, about 3 nautical miles (6 km) northeast of Mount Block in the Grosvenor Mountains of Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) for C.C. Mauger, a crew member of the Aurora, the vessel which transported the Ross Sea party of Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–17) from Australia to the Ross Sea.[1]
