Narrative

A small nunatak (6 m high, 15 m long) at an elevation of 1,050 m, located 16 mi NW of Henkle Peak in Ellsworth Land. It was discovered in January 1985 by chance in a snowstorm and fog by the joint USGS-BAS geological party led by Peter D. Rowley. party is significantly older than the oldest previously dated rock from southern Antarctic Peninsula. The name is "nowhere" spelled backwards and was suggested by Rowley because the field party was uncertain of its location during the foul weather.
