Blustery Cliffs

The Blustery Cliffs (71°25′S 67°53′E) 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 Expeditions Prince Charles Mountains survey party in January 1969. They are so named because of the great amount of turbulence caused by updraft currents.[1]
