The Gulliver Nunatak is a 575 m high nunatak on the Oskar II coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . With its flattened and non-iced summit, it rises on the north side of Adie Inlet .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) mapped it in 1947. In the same year, the first aerial photographs were taken as part of the US Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition . The FIDS named it after the title character from the novel Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift from 1726, as it reminds of a man lying on his back.
