Narrative

Two small, light-coloured, rock outcrops, about 72 km north of Mount Scherger, in the southern Prince Charles Mountains. They are snow-covered almost to the top of their northern sides, with steep faces to the south. Plotted from air photographs taken from an ANARE aircraft in 1957. A base was established at one of the nunataks by an ANARE survey party led by H Geysen in 1960. Named after a fictional character in the novel "Ascent of Rumdoodle" by W E Bowman.
