Mulgrew Nunatak
Mulgrew Nunatak is a prominent nunatak, 1,600 m, standing four nautical miles east of Tentacle Ridge in the Cook Mountains. Its summit, standing at, is named Peter Crest. The nunatak was first mapped by the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Both it and its peak were named for Peter D. Mulgrew, a New Zealand adventurer who accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary to the South Pole and served as the chief radio operator at Scott Base. He perished in the Air New Zealand DC10 scenic flight to Ross Island, 28 November 1979, when the airplane crashed near Te Puna Roimata Peak on the northeast slope of Mount Erebus, killing all 257 persons aboard.
