Couloir Cliffs

The Couloir Cliffs (77°1′S162°48′E / 77.017°S 162.800°E / -77.017; 162.800) are granite cliffs, 3 nautical miles (6 km) long and from 30 to 60 metres (100 to 200 ft) high, at the east side of Avalanche Bay in Granite Harbour, Victoria Land. They were named by the Granite Harbor Geological Party, led by Thomas Griffith Taylor, of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, because these cliffs have numerous chimneys and couloirs.^[1]
