Situated on the south side of lower Drygalski Glacier, 3.9 miles (6.3 km) north of Tashukov Nunatak.

The name Tillberg was given to a group of four rocky outcrops in this area but, since they are not conspicuous topographically, the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1963 recommended that the name be transferred to this more useful landmark. Named by Dr. Otto Nordenskjold after , contributor to the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04.
