Carapace Nunatak
Carapace Nunatak (76°53′S 159°24′E / 76.883°S 159.400°E) is a prominent isolated nunatak, the most westerly near the head of Mackay Glacier, standing 8 nautical miles (15 km) southwest of Mount Brooke where it is visible for a considerable distance from many directions. It was so named by the New Zealand party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) because of the carapaces of small crustaceans found in the rocks.[1]
