rising to c. 150m on N side of Snow Hill Island, were surveyed by SwAE in 1902-03 and called from their position on the island Mittelnunatak [=middle nunatak] (Nordenskjöld, 1911b, Karte 3); resurveyed by FIDS from "Hope Bay" in September 1952 and named Sanctuary Cliffs, because they face N into the sun and provide shelter from the prevailing SW winds (APC, 1958, p.6; DOS 610 sheet W6456, 1961). Middle Nunatak (Howarth, 1958, p.8).
