Fulcrum (Antarctica)

Fulcrum is a peaked nunatak rising to about 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) at the north end of the Lever Nunataks in the Wilkniss Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The position of the nunatak suggests a fulcrum upon which the Lever Nunataks act. It was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board in 1994.[1]
