The McGrath Nunatak is a mountain ridge-like nunatak in the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It rises 11 km southeast of the Van Hulssen Nunatak at the western end of the Blånabbane .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it using aerial photographs from the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it after Peter James McGrath (* 1939), a radio operator at Mawson Station , who participated in the 1965 survey of the area between the Framnes Mountains and Depot Peak as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions .
