The Yee Nunatakker are a group of scattered and up to 1700 m high Nunatakker in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . They are distributed 55 km northeast of the Lyon-Nunatakker over an area 39 km long and 20 km wide. They include the Staack Nunatak , the Olander Nunatak , the Metzgar Nunatak and the Triassic Nunatak .
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) mapped it using its own surveys, aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1961 to 1968 and Landsat photographs from 1973 and 1974. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1994 after that of the US American Cartographer Virginia Yee-Wray (* 1932) from the USGS specialty map department, who was involved in the creation of relief maps of Antarctica for many years .
