Narrative

Three high bluffs with vertical faces on the NW but merging with the ice sheet on the SE, standing along the E side of Robert Glacier 16 mi NE of Rayner Peak in Enderby Land. Mapped from ANARE surveys and air photos, 1954-66. So named by ANARE because of severe turbulence encountered while attempting a helicopter landing in 1965.
