Zeeberg, ''Climate and Glacial History of the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago, Russian Arctic''. pp. 82–84 Nunataks present readily identifiable landmark reference points in glaciers or ice caps and are often named. While some nunataks are isolated, sometimes they form dense clusters, such as

They usually contrast strongly with the softer contours of the glacially eroded land after a glacier retreats. Nunataks are not greatly affected by
