Brazitis Nunatak (84°58′S 67°23′W / 84.967°S 67.383°W / -84.967; -67.383) is a nunatak, 1,625 metres (5,330 ft) high, along the edge of an ice escarpment 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of DesRoches Nunataks in the southwestern Patuxent Range, Pensacola Mountains. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Peter F. Brazitis, a cosmic ray scientist at South Pole Station, winter 1967.[1]
