Horsa Nunataks
The Horsa Nunataks () are an isolated group of about five partly snow-covered nunataks, more than high, which rise above Roberts Ice Piedmont, north of Mount Calais, in the northeastern part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. They were first photographed from the air in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, and were surveyed from the ground in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. The names for these nunataks and for the isolated Hengist Nunatak to the south are for the brother chieftains
