Narrative

bluff rising to c. 750 m and marking NE end of Boulding Ridge, Fallières Coast, between McClary Glacier and Todd Glacier, was surveyed by BAS from "Stonington Island", 1967-69, and so named because T.J. Allan (Mount Allan, q.v.) and J. F. Noel (Mount Noel, q.v.) died in the vicinity as the result of an accident on a sledge journey from "Stonington Island" in May 1966 (APC, 1974, p.6; BA, 1974, p.206; BAS 250P sheet SR 19-20/2, 1-DOS 1978).
