The Adit Nunatak is an 800 m high nunatak that rises 5 km west-northwest of Mount Alibi on the northern flank of the Leppard Glacier in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula .
It was mapped in 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it so because at the time it was named in 1957 it marked the access (English: adit ) to the previously unmapped area between the Leppard and Flask glaciers .
