The Whichaway nunatakkers are a group of rocky nunatakers in the East Antarctic Coatsland . They extend over a length of 11 km and mark the south side of the mouth of the Recovery Glacier in the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf .
Sighted from the air and visited in 1957 by participants of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958). They got their name because the expedition from here was initially unclear about the further route into the Antarctic inland.
