The Tolly Nunatak is a 30 m long and 10 m wide nunatak in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises from a mountain saddle between two higher Nunatakkern of a mountain ridge that forms the northwestern edge of the Flowers Hills in the Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains .
It is named after the Icelandic geophysicist Guðfinna "Tolly" Aðalgeirsdóttir (* 1972), who among other things dealt with the glacier dynamics of the neighboring Rutford ice stream .
