The Crosby nunatakker are three nunatakkers in the East Antarctic Enderbyland . They tower 3 km northeast of Mount Morrison in the northern part of the Tula Mountains .
They were mapped using aerial photographs taken by members of a team on the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1956. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named the mountain after William Edward Crosby (1902 - unknown), British crew member of the RSS Discovery on the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE, 1929-1931) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer Douglas Mawson .
