NunatakA nunatak is a mountain top that never has been covered by land ice (glaciation, ice age) or glaciers. The wildlife on a nunatak can be isolated by the surrounding glacier, just like an island is in the ocean.The word is borrowed from the Inuit language and has been used in west European languages at least since the 1880s.
