Blustery Cliffs

The Blustery Cliffs (71°25′S67°53′E / 71.417°S 67.883°E / -71.417; 67.883) are a line of rocky cliffs 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) long on the northern part of Fisher Massif, Mac. Robertson Land. A point on the cliffs 1,135 metres (3,724 ft) high was occupied as a survey station by J. Manning, a surveyor with the Australian National Antarctic Research ExpeditionsPrince Charles Mountains survey party in January 1969. They are so named because of the great amount of turbulence caused by updraft currents.[1]
