Quilty Nunataks

Quilty Nunataks stand in the west-north-west of the Hauberg Mountains, along the Orville Coast of southern Palmer Land in the British Antarctic Territory. They rise to 3,822 feet at Mount Horne.

These nunantaks were surveyed on US Antarctic Peninsula Traverse, 1961-62, and, following air photography by the United States Navy, 1965-67, mapped from air photographs by the United States Geological Survey. They are named after Patrick Quilty, the United States Antarctic Research Program geologist with the University of Wisconsin field party to the area, 1965-66.
