The DeRemer Nunatakker are a group of Nunatakkers on the Oates coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . Its center is 6 km southeast of Mount Blowaway in the Wilson Hills .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them on the basis of their own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1970 after Yeoman First Class Dennis Lee DeRemer (1942-2004), who from February 1967 until July 1970 worked for the support units of the US Navy in Antarctica .
