The McDonough Nunataks (85°8′S 179°59′E) are a small group of isolated rock nunataks at the southern margin of the Queen Maud Mountains, Antarctica, rising above the ice plateau 5 nautical miles (9 km) west of Mount Rosenwald. They were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John W. McDonough, a United States Antarctic Research Program ionospheric physicist at the South Pole Station, 1962.[1]
