Lhasa Nunatak (85°7′S 171°18′E) is a narrow rock ridge, 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, trending in a northwest–southeast direction between Snakeskin Glacier and Jensen Glacier, to the east of the Supporters Range, Antarctica. It was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) because the central peak resembles a Tibetan monastery perched on top of a hill, as at Lhasa.
