Binders Nunataks

The Binders Nunataks (72°36′S 62°58′E) are two small, light-colored nunataks standing 37 nautical miles (69 km) north of Mount Scherger in the southern Prince Charles Mountains. They were mapped from air photos and surveys by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, 1957–60, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after a fictional character in The Ascent of Rum Doodle, a novel by W. E. Bowman.[1]
