Narrative

A small nunatak (6 m high, 15 m long) at an elevation of 1,050 m, NW of Henkle Peak, southern Palmer Land. It was discovered in January 1985 by the joint USGS-BAS geological party which was lost in fog in the vicinity. The name derives from Samuel Butler's book Erewhon which is a modified version of "nowhere" spelled backwards; it has been used in the form Erehwon (sic) Nunatak (APC, 1988).
