Narrative

A line of rocky cliffs about 7 km long on the northern part of Fisher Massif. A point on the cliffs 1,135 m high, was occupied as a survey station by John Manning, surveyor, with the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party in January, 1969. So named because of the great amount of turbulence caused by updraft currents.
