Geological and geomorphological characteristics of the area of the Snider Nunataks on the Knox Coast in East Antarctica
Abstract
The Snider Nunataks are located at coordinates 107°41' E and 66°03' S on the Knox Coast in East Antarctica. They are several rocky outcrops among the continentalice, located in an area of about 0.15 km². The sizes of nunataks vary from 10-15 to 120-150 m across. The Nunataks are located 200-250 m from the coastal barrier of the ice sheet.
