The Chocolate Nunatak is an isolated nunatak in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Barker Range of the Victory Mountains, it rises 3 miles west-southwest of Mount McCarthy on the east side of the head end of the Mariner Glacier .
The New Zealand geologists Bruce W. Riddolls and Graham T. Hancox named it in the course of a 1966 to 1967 campaign of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition to the Mariner Glacier. Name derives from the red-brown color of Nunatak, both researchers at chocolate ( English chocolate recalled).
