Doescher Nunatak
Doescher Nunatak () is a somewhat isolated nunatak situated north of Mount Weihaupt in the Outback Nunataks, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The geographical feature was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Roger L. Doescher, a former glaciologist who worked at the infamous McMurdo Station, Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island, during 1967–68. The Nunatak lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape
1959-64. They were so named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for their remote position at the posterior side of the large mountain belt that extends from the Ross Sea to the interior ice plateau.
