The Dean Nunatakker are two Nunatakkers in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Hudson Mountains they rise 10 km east-northeast of Mount Moses .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them using their own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1970 after William S.
