Taylor Nunataks

The Taylor Nunataks (outcrops of bare rock) rise to about 2,165 feet north of Tay Head on Joinville Island, an island off the Trinity Peninsula at Graham Land's north-eastern tip, within the British Antarctic Territory.

The nunataks were surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Hope Bay in December 1953 and named after Robert Julian Faussitt Taylor (b. 1929), the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey dog physiologist at Hope Bay from 1954-56, who assisted the survey party.
