Narrative

A group of nunataks between Jennings Promontory and Reinbolt Hills on the eastern side of the Amery Ice Shelf. Photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). The position of the nunataks was fixed by intersection from Corry Rocks and Rubeli Bluff by ANARE surveyors in 1968. Named after Norm Linton-Smith, (then) senior technical officer with the Antarctic Division, Melbourne, a member of the ANARE Amery Ice Shelf glaciological traverse in 1970.
