Freshfield Nunatak

Freshfield Nunatak (80°28′S 24°53′W) is an isolated nunatak rising to about 1,450 metres (4,760 ft) to the southeast of the Herbert Mountains in the Shackleton Range, Antarctica. It was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey, 1968–71. In association with the names of pioneers of polar life and exploration grouped in this area, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 after Douglas W. Freshfield, an English geographer and mountaineer in the Caucasus Mountains and the Himalayas.
