The Crummey Nunatak is an elongated and 3 km long nunatak in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the Ford Ranges it looms at the northeastern end of the Gutenko Nunatakker .
Scientists from the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) mapped it. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the Nunatak in 1970 after Glenn Tillman Crummey (1931–1988) of the United States Navy , a construction electrician at Byrd Station in 1967.
