Saxum Nunatak

Saxum Nunatak is a nunatak (an outcrop of bare rock) rising to 1,493 feet near the north-west coast of Joinville Island, an island off the Trinity Peninsula at Graham Land's north-eastern tip, within the British Antarctic Territory.

The nunatak was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Hope Bay in January 1954 and so named from the appearance of the feature as seen from the north; saxum meaning 'wall' in Latin.
