The Ringed Nunatak (English for Umringter Nunatak ) is a small, yet distinctive nunatak in the East Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Cumulus Hills of the Queen Maud Mountains, it rises from the glacier break of the Gatlin Glacier .
Participants of the Texas Tech University expedition to explore the Shackleton Glacier (1964-1965) named him. It is named after a moraine that completely surrounds the Nunatak.
