Names that other countries have for this feature:
A steep-sided rock exposure forming the southernmost part of the Geologists Range. Discovered by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological and Survey Expedition (1961-62). This feature was originally named Endurance Nunatak after the Endurance, expedition ship of the British Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-16) under Sir Ernest Shackleton. The generic cliffs is considered more appropriate than nunatak.
