Descent Cliff (77°43′S 166°53′E / 77.717°S 166.883°E) is a cliff on the west side of Hut Point Peninsula, between Hutton Cliffs and Erebus Glacier Tongue, on Ross Island. Charted and so named by the British Antarctic Expedition under Scott, 1910–13, because it was here that a descent to the sea ice was made.
