The Baseline Nunatakkers are a group of Nunatakkers in Mac Robertson Land, East Antarctica . They rise up from the continental ice 8 km south of Mount McKenzie along the south side of the Aramis Range in the Prince Charles Mountains .
Participants of the 1956 to 1957 research expeditions as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions under the direction of the Australian mountaineer William Gordon Bewsher (1924–2012) visited the formation in January 1957. The Nunatakker form the eastern end of a photo base line that extends to Mount Hollingshead in the west and to which they owe their name.
