Magnetite Bluff

Magnetite Bluff (83°22′S 51°15′W / 83.367°S 51.25°W / -83.367; -51.25) is a bluff 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of Mount Stephens on the west side of Saratoga Table, Forrestal Range. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN), 1979, at the suggestion of Arthur B. Ford and following United States Geological Survey (USGS) geological work in the area, from the extensive occurrences of magnetite in the gabbro of this area which cause large magnetic anomalies over the Forrestal Range.
