Nunataks are promontories that project above the surface of a glacier.
Certain plants survived glaciation on nunataks.
The top of the nunatak is 200 m above the level of the ice in the foreground.
The name is allusive; snow that cuts across parts of the nunatak gives it a segmented appearance resembling that of a centipede.
Its outflow is split in the center by a nunatak.
Investigators looked at a nunatak outcrop in the icefield and found highly mineralized rock.
