The Hopkins nunatakkers are three nunatakkers in East Antarctica Victoria Land . They tower over a length of 2.5 km at the head of the Cambridge Glacier between the Coombs Hills and the Convoy Range . Only about 50 m of their total height of up to 2180 m are visible beyond the ice masses of the Cambridge Glacier.
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named her in 2007 after Steve Hopkins, who was active in several campaigns and in various functions at the McMurdo station .
