The Jorgensen nunatakkers are two nunatakkers in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Elizabeth Range of the Transantarctic Mountains, they rise from an icy ridge that stretches from Mount Picciotto in an easterly direction.
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1966 after Arthur E. Jorgensen (1933-2015), meteorologist for the United States Antarctic Research Program at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in the Antarctic winter of 1958.
