Gomez, a mechanic with the Eights Station winter party in 1965.
The Goodwin Nunataks are a small group of isolated nunataks lying about 10 nautical miles (20 km) west of the Marshall Mountains of Antarctica, at the south side of Walcott Neve.

This topographical feature lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Skellerup Glacier is a glacier flowing west north west between All-Blacks Nunataks and Wilhoite Nunataks, west of the Churchill Mountains. Named in honor of P. J. Skellerup, who sponsored the Antarctic wing at Canterbury Museum. He is particularly keen on scientific research and donated money to build a specialist Antarctic Library at the Museum. He also donated a large collection of Antarctic materials to the Museum, including some very old and rare Antarctic manuscripts. He remains interested in the collection and has continued his sponsorship and donations over 30+ years.
