The Sunker-Nunatakker are a group of small and rounded Nunatakker in the convoy range in the east Antarctic Victoria Land .
The team of the New Zealand Antarctic Research Program , which conducted field research here in the 1989/1990 season, gave the Nunatakkern a descriptive name. In Newfoundland fishermen's parlance, a "sunker" is a rocky reef.
