Names that other countries have for this feature:
A line of precipitous basalt cliffs rising to 2,000 m above the Ross Sea and forming much of the E side of Adare Peninsula along the coast of Victoria Land. In 1841 Capt. James Ross applied the name "Cape Downshire" to a part of these cliffs. He did so at the request of Cdr. Francis R.M. Crozier of the Downshire. No prominent cape exists here and, for the sake of historical continuity, the name has been reapplied to these cliffs.
