Intention Nunataks

Intention Nunataks

Intention Nunataks (coord|72|56|S|163|46|E|) is a group of peaked nunataks between Solo Nunatak and Forgotten Hills, at the southwest margin of Evans Neve. The surveyor's intention to place a survey station here was thwarted by weather and other factors. Named by the Northern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1962-63.
