The Hutcheson Nunatakkers are a small group of Nunatakkers in Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica . They soar along the northern flank of the Balchen Glacier halfway between the Phillips Mountains and the Abele Nunatak .
They were discovered and mapped by the United States Antarctic Service between 1939 and 1941. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1966 after Guy Carlton Hutcheson (1911-2004), radio operator on the second Antarctic expedition (1933-1935) of the US American Polar explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd .
