The Franck Nunataks (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) are a scattered group of small rock outcrops, 3 nautical miles (6 km) in extent, at the base of the Beethoven Peninsula in the southwest part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. They were first mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after César Franck, the French composer,[1] 1822-1890.
