The Kyle Nunatakker are three Nunatakkers in the East Antarctic Enderbyland . They tower 4 km east of Mount Hampson in the eastern part of the Tula Mountains .
They were mapped using aerial photographs taken by members of a team on the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1956. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named the Nunatakker after James T.
