Feature type: Nunatak
This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
A small, isolated group of nunataks located between 0.1 and 0.9 km off the western side of the Denman Glacier, opposite Cape Jones, in Queen Mary Land. The nunataks cover an area of about 1/2 a square kilometre.
This feature is named in recognition of John Robert Francis (‘Frank’) Wild, a member of five Antarctic expeditions including the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911-14) where he led the Western Base Party at Queen Mary Land. Wild and his party raised the Union Jack and Australian Ensign at this feature to proclaim the region in the name of King George V and the Australian Commonwealth.
