Rambo Nunataks

The Rambo Nunataks are a loose chain of nunataks (exposed rock) in the Pensacola Mountains of Queen Elizabeth Land, within the British Antarctic Territory. The nunataks lie west of the head of the Foundation Ice Stream, north-west of the Patuxent Range and extend along the west side of the Foundation Ice Stream for 17 nautical miles (19 miles).

At their highest point they rise to 3,166 feet at Blackburn Nunatak.

Oliver Nunatak and Kuhn Nunatak, were surveyed from the ground by the United States Geological Survey, 1961-62, and on the US Wisconsin Traverse, 1963-64, and photographed from the air by the United States Navy in 1964. The Americans named them after William L. Rambo, a geophysicist with the United States Geological Survey who served in the Pensacola Mountains, 1965–66.
