Narrative

A small but distinctive nunatak about halfway between Sphinx Peak and Mt Burton on the Polar Plateau. Named by the Southern Party of the NZFMCAE, 1962-63, for the Jato bottles used by the American aircraft to assist them in taking off with heavy loads at high altitudes. The aircraft landing point was nearby.
