The Wilson nunataks are an irregular chain of nunataks in the south-eastern extension of the Heritage Range, the southern half of Ellsworthgebirges in West Antarctica.

The nunataks - rocks that protrude from the surrounding ice - extend over a length of about 8 miles (converted 12.9 km ) in a west-east direction between the Douglas Peaks in the west and the ice-filled bay Hercules Inlet to the east. The easternmost of the chain is the Nunatak Nunatak Fusco ( in the Geographic Names Information System, the database of the United States Geological Survey, erroneously listed as the westernmost Nunatak ).

Your name Wilson received the nunataks of a research expedition from the University of Minnesota, who visited the area in the summer of 1964-65. They named it after Chief Warrant Officer Kenneth Wilson, a pilot of the 62nd Transportation Detachment, who had supported the expedition.
