Ceres Nunataks

The Ceres Nunataks (72°3′S 70°25′W / 72.05°S 70.417°W / -72.05; -70.417) are a group of three nunataks located immediately east of the base of Shostakovich Peninsula in southern Alexander Island. They were mapped by the Directorate of Overseas Surveys from satellite imagery supplied by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Ceres, one of the asteroids lying between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter.
