The Coulter Heights are snowy heights in Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica . They are located near the Ruppert coast between the Strauss glacier and the Frostman glacier . The formations of the heights that are visible as rocky outcrops include the Kuberry Rocks , Matikonis Peak and Lambert Nunatak .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them using their own surveys and using aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1959 and 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1975 after Neil M. Coulter, a meteorologist at Byrd Station in 1963.
