Astro Cliffs

Astro Cliffs

Astro Cliffs (coord|66|40|S|62|26|W|) is a rock cliffs 60 m high, situated at the southeast extremity of Churchill Peninsula, 6 miles (10 km) northeast of Cape Alexander on the east coast of Graham Land. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955, they mark the most southerly point of the survey. The United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) name arose from the astronomical fix obtained near the summit which was essential for the control of the survey traverse.
