Names that other countries have for this feature:
A mostly snow-covered north-facing escarpment, interrupted by occasional bluffs and spurs, between Slessor Glacier on the N and Shotton Snowfield on the S, in the Shackleton Range. The escarpment was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and was surveyed by BAS, 1968-71. So named by UK-APC because features on the escarpment are named after the pioneers whose inventions have assisted living and traveling conditions in the polar regions.
