McLaughlin Cliffs (71°35′S 67°32′W / 71.583°S 67.533°W) is the abrupt rock cliffs that overlook George VI Sound between the Armstrong and Conchie Glaciers, in west Palmer Land. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant Donald J. McLaughlin, CEC, U.S. Navy Reserve, Officer-in-Charge of Palmer Station in 1970. The steep cliffs provide nesting sites for a colony of Snow Petrels (Pagodroma nivea).
