The Schloredt Nunatak is a nunatak near the Hobbs coast in Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica . It rises 1.5 km south of the Bleclic Peaks on the southern foothills of the Perry Range .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1974 after the senior construction electrician Jerry L. Schloredt (* 1936) of the US Navy, who had operated the nuclear reactor at McMurdo Station in 1966, 1967 and 1969 .
