The Bailey Nunatak is a 1010 m high nunatak near the Ruppert coast of the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . It rises along the northern flank of the White Glacier halfway between the Partridge Nunatak and the Wilkins Nunatak .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on aerial photographs of the United States Navy and its own surveys between 1959 and 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it after the American meteorologist Andrew M. Bailey, who worked at Byrd Station in 1963 .
