The Jago Nunataks (72°6′S 164°40′E / 72.100°S 164.667°E / -72.100; 164.667) are a cluster of closely spaced nunataks rising to 2,300 metres (7,500 ft), centred 3 miles (5 km) east of the south end of Neall Massif in the Concord Mountains of Antarctica. They were named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1983 after J.B. Jago, a geologist with the New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme geological parties to this area in 1974–75 and 1980–81.[1] These topographical Nunataks lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
