Narrative

A line of nunataks on the western side of Mawson Peninsula in George V Land. Photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47), the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1958 and ANARE in 1959. Rough running of the aircraft engine during the ANARE flight in the vicinity of the nunataks caused considerable anxiety to the pilot and passenger.
