The Webber Nunatak is a 495 m high nunatak in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises 11 km west of Mount Manthe in the southern part of the Hudson Mountains .

Based on satellite images, it is believed that the Webber Nunatak may have been the site of a volcanic eruption in 1985. Supplementary observations that support this assumption have not yet been made.

Aerial photographs of the United States Navy , as part of Operation Highjump were created (1946-1947), served its mapping. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 1968 after George E. Webber, an electrical engineer who worked at Byrd Station in 1967 .
