The Nobby-Nunatak (from English [k] nobby 'knotig' ) is an approximately 270 m (according to another representation 885 m ) high nunatak on the Trinity Peninsula at the northeast end of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 1.5 km south of Lake Boeckella and just as far east of Mount Flora .
A team led by Johan Gunnar Andersson explored this area for the first time during the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) under the direction of Otto Nordenskjöld . The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped the Nunatak in 1945 and gave it its descriptive name.
