Komatsu Nunatak (71°55′S 161°11′E / 71.917°S 161.183°E / -71.917; 161.183) is a very prominent nunatak rising to 1,840 metres (6,040 ft) near its center. It stands 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of the summit of Mount Van der Hoeven in the western part of the Helliwell Hills, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the nunatak after Stanley K. Komatsu, a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at McMurdo Station, 1966–67 and 1967–68.[1]
