Herbst Nunatak ( Bulgarian: нунатак Хербст, ‘Nunatak Herbst’ \'nu-na-tak 'herbst\) is the partly ice-free ridge extending 1.1 km in southeast-northwest direction and 300 m wide, with a central height rising to 846 m and a southern one of 869 m [1] on the southeast side of Sofia University Mountains in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. It surmounts Poste Valley to the northwest and Nichols Snowfield to the southeast. The vicinity was visited on 2 February 1988 by the geological survey team of Christo Pimpirev and Borislav Kamenov (First Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition), and Philip Nell and Peter Marquis ( British Antarctic Survey).
The feature is named after the Bulgarian journalist Yosif Herbst (1875-1925).
