The Bounty Nunatak (English for reward nunatak ) is a striking, mostly ice-free and 2350 m high nunatak in East Antarctica Victoria Land . In the southern part of the Daniels Range of the Usarp Mountains, it rises 6 km southeast of Mount Burnham .
Participants in a campaign from 1963 to 1964 as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition named it so because they were able to replenish their almost completely used up food and fuel supplies from a previously created depot.
