Young Nunataks (66°44′S 54°8′E) is a group of nunataks in the Napier Mountains standing 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) south of Mount Elkins, Antarctica. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. Remapped from aerial photos taken by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) in 1956 and named for W.F. Young, electrical fitter at Mawson Station in 1961.
