The Sandilands Nunatak is a solitary and 900 m high nunatak in the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . In the Prince Charles Mountains, it rises 5 km north of Mount Seaton in the middle of the Nemesis Glacier at its northern end.
A team led by the German-Australian geologist Peter Wolfgang Israel Crohn (1925-2015) first sighted him in December 1956 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it after Alexander Hardie Sandilands (* 1928), a radio operator at Mawson Station in 1957.
