The Marsh Nunatak ( Russian Гора Серый Бок Gora Sery Bok , German “Gray Side Mountain” ) is a 2010 m high nunatak in the East Antarctic Mac-Robertson Land, snow-covered on the northern flank . It belongs to the Goodspeed Nunataks in the southern part of the Prince Charles Mountains and rises 17 km east-southeast of the Skinner Nunatak .
Scientists carrying out seismic surveys in the area as part of a campaign by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions discovered it. Aerial photographs were taken in 1958 and 1960. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it after the helicopter engineer James H. "Jim" Marsh, who participated in the survey of the Prince Charles Mountains in 1972. The Russian naming, on the other hand, is descriptive.
