The Kienle Nunatakker are three up to 1700 m high nunatakker on the Antarctic Ross Island . To the north of Mount Terror they rise in an east-west orientation over a length of 1.5 km. The middle nunatak of this group is 4 km north-northeast of the summit of Mount Terror.
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 2000 after the volcanologist Juergen Kienle (1938-1996) from the University of Alaska at Fairbanks , who had led the investigations into the volcanic and seismic activity of Mount Erebus in six campaigns from 1981 to 1986 .
