The Perow Nunatakkers are a small group of Nunatakkers in the East Antarctic Enderbyland . They tower 30 km southeast of Debenham Peak on the eastern edge of the Scott Mountains .
Aerial photographs were taken during the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in October 1956. In November 1958, the same research series was followed by a survey by an air-assisted team. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named the group after the Soviet pilot Viktor Perow, who in December 1958 rescued a Belgian field research team that had an airplane accident in this area.
