The Auriga Nunatakker are a small group of Nunatakkers in the west of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . They tower 35 km east of Wade Point at the head of the Bertram Glacier . The highest nunatak in this group is a pointed peak that can be seen from afar.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1978 after the constellation of the carter (technically Auriga ).
