Mizar Nunataks

The Mizar Nunataks (81°52′S 154°35′E) are a small cluster of rock nunataks near the Antarctic polar plateau, 12 nautical miles (22 km) south of the Wilhoite Nunataks. They were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after the USNS Mizar, a cargo vessel in the U.S. convoy to McMurdo Sound in U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze, 1962.[1][2]
