Origin

This name originates from United Kingdom. It is part of the Gazetteer of the British Antarctic Territory and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.

Narrative

Steep rock and scree coastal cliffs, immediately SW of Keltie Head, Vega Island, James Ross Island. Named descriptively, the area inland produces large amounts of meltwater during the austral summer, as a result the cliffs support an impressive display of waterfalls which tumble into the sea below (APC, 2008).
