The Sample Nunatakkers are a group of Nunatakkers in East Antarctica Victoria Land . They rise up at the confluence of the Lovejoy and Harlin glaciers in the Usarp Mountains .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after Gerald M. Sample (1938–1989), a radio operator in the United States Navy on board an R4D serving the United States Geological Survey during its Antarctic research campaigns from 1961 to 1962 and 1962 to 1963, where, among other things, the area of the Nunatakker was surveyed.
