The Krigsvold Nunatakkers are a small group of Nunatakkers in Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica . They tower directly at the head of the Strauss Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them on the basis of their own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1974 after Alvin I. Krigsvold (1913-1994), a member of a joint team of the United States States Army and United States Navy, which had carried out preparatory work for the construction of the Byrd station from Little America V as a pioneer group in 1956.
