Reeves Bluffs (79°36′S 158°40′E / 79.600°S 158.667°E) is a line of east-facing rock bluffs, 8 nautical miles (15 km) long, situated 15 nautical miles (28 km) west of Cape Murray in the Cook Mountains, Antarctica. Discovered by the Discovery expedition (1901–04) under Captain Robert F. Scott, who gave the name "Mount Reeves," after , to the Royal Geographical Society, to a summit along this bluff. The bluff was mapped in detail by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photography (1959–63). Since a prominent mountain does not rise from the bluffs, and because the name Mount Reeves is in use elsewhere in Antarctica, the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (1965) recommended that the original name be amended and that the entire line of bluffs

dbo:abstract
  • Die Reeves Bluffs sind eine Reihe nach Osten ausgerichteter Felsenkliffs in der antarktischen Ross Dependency. Sie erstrecken sich etwa 24 km westlich des Kap Murray in den Cook Mountains über eine Länge von rund 13 km. Entdeckt wurden sie von Teilnehmern der Discovery-Expedition (1901–1904) unter der Leitung des britischen Polarforschers Robert Falcon Scott, der die Formation „Mount Reeves“ benannte. Das Gebiet wurde eingehender durch das United States Geological Survey vermessen und durch Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy von 1959 bis 1963 erfasst. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names änderte 1965 die ursprüngliche Benennung in die zum geographischen Objekt passendere Form. Namensgeber ist Edward Ayearst Reeves (1862–1945), Navigationsexperte und Verantwortlicher für Landkarten bei der Royal Geographical Society. (de)
