Inaccessible Cliffs

Inaccessible Cliffs

Inaccessible Cliffs (coord|82|33|S|160|48|E|) is a line of steep cliffs, interrupted by several glaciers, which form the northern escarpment of the Queen Elizabeth Range. The escarpment borders the southern side of the Nimrod Glacier which is very heavily crevassed. Named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1961-62) because of their general inaccessibility.
