The Sharks Tooth ( English for shark tooth ) is a small and steep-walled rock spur in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Prince Albert Mountains, it rises west of the Beckett Nunatak on the northern flank of the upper section of the Mawson Glacier .
The southern group of a 1962 to 1963 campaign as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition mapped it and gave it its descriptive name.
