The Fletcher nunatakkers are two nunatakkers in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . They are located 3.3 km southwest of the Barker Nunatak in the Grossman Nunatakker group .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them using aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1965 to 1968 and Landsat photographs from 1973 to 1974. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them after the American cartographer James B. Fletcher, who together with his colleague Kenneth Barker formed the United States Geological Survey's satellite survey team at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in the Antarctic winter of 1977.
