The Auriga Nunataks (70°42′S 66°38′W / 70.700°S 66.633°W / -70.700; -66.633) are a small group of nunataks in Palmer Land, Antarctica, located 21 miles (34 km) east of Wade Point at the head of Bertram Glacier. The highest of these rises to a sharp peak and is visible for a great distance. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the constellation of Auriga.
