Shield Nunatak ( 74°33′S 164°30′E / 74.550°S 164.500°E) is a prominent nunatak standing at the east side of the terminus of Campbell Glacier on the north shore of Terra Nova Bay, Victoria Land. This feature, a multiple volcanic cone, was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1965–66, because it looks like an old Viking shield.
Shield Nunatak is described as a basalt tuya in the Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science. [1]
