Narrative

Dark, flat-topped outcrop in the Nicholas Range, 10 mi N of Mount Storegutt. It rises about 100 m above the general ice level and has a steep eastern side, backing to an ice scarp in the west. Discovered by BANZARE, 1929-31, under Mawson. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, and called Brattstabben (The Steep Stump). Photographed from ANARE aircraft in 1956 and remapped. Renamed by ANCA in 1961 for N.D. Jennings, assistant diesel mechanic at Mawson Station in 1960.
