We Arrive At Brown Bluff Antarctica (Page Eleven)

We wondered how it got its name until we first sighted the bluff overlooking the sea, then it was clear.

What else could it be named?

Did You Know - Brown Bluff has a 1.5 km long cobble and ash beach rising increasingly steeply towards towering red-brown tuff cliffs which are embedded with volcanic bombs and tephra. The cliffs are heavily eroded, resulting in loose scree and rock falls on higher slopes, and large, wind eroded boulders on the beach. Permanent ice and tidewater glaciers surround the site to the north and south, occasionally filling the beach with brash ice.
