McKinley Nunatak (85°18′S 170°3′W / 85.300°S 170.050°W / -85.300; -170.050) is the southernmost of three large nunataks in upper Liv Glacier, Antarctica, about 5 nautical miles (9 km) north-northeast of Barnum Peak. It was named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) for Captain Ashley C. McKinley, a photographer with Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd on his South Pole flight of 1929.[1]
