Centipede Nunatak

Centipede Nunatak (77°45′S 166°54′E) is a narrow nunatak that is 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) long, located 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km) north-northwest of Ford Rock in central Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island. The name is allusive; snow that cuts across parts of the nunatak gives it a segmented appearance resembling that of a centipede. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2000.[1]
