Boyer Bluff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boyer Bluff is a mostly ice-covered bluff, 1,080 metres (3,540 ft) high, at the southwest periphery of the Darley Hills in the Churchill Mountains. The feature is 4 nautical miles (7 km) southwest of Constellation Dome. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after David S. Boyer of the National Geographic Magazine (NGM) Foreign Editorial Staff, who was on assignment in Antarctica, 1956–57. This is just one of several features in the Darley Hills that are named for NGM staff.[1]
