The Swartz Nunatakker are two distinctive and up to 1565 m high nunatakkers in the East Antarctic Viktorialand . They pierce the surrounding ice sheets halfway between the northern Worcester Range and Tate Peak .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1964 after Lieutenant Philip K. Swartz Jr. of the United States Navy , who headed the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1961.
