Lever Nunataks

The Lever Nunataks (78°4′S 161°8′E / 78.067°S 161.133°E / -78.067; 161.133Coordinates: 78°4′S 161°8′E / 78.067°S 161.133°E / -78.067; 161.133) are a chain of nunataks that extend southeastward from Fulcrum and the head of Creagh Glacier in the Wilkniss Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The group was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board in 1994; the name is suggested by the position and linear arrangement of the group as of a "lever" away from the "fulcrum".[1]
