The Gemini Nunatak is a nunatak with two almost ice-free peaks of 465 m and 490 m high, which are connected by a shallow rock ridge. It rises 6.5 km south of Borchgrevink-Nunatak on the Philippi Rise on the Oskar II coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it in 1947. In the same year, the first aerial photographs were taken during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The survey named it after the constellation Gemini ( English Gemini ).
