Davies Escarpment is an east-facing ice escarpment over 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, located southward of Bermel Escarpment in the southern part of the Thiel Mountains of Antarctica. The feature appears to be devoid of rock outcroppings. The name was proposed by Peter F. Bermel and Arthur B. Ford, co-leaders of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Thiel Mountains party of 1960–61, for William E. Davies, USGS geologist aboard the icebreaker Atka in the Antarctic reconnaissance cruise of 1954–55 in search of station sites for use during the International Geophysical Year.

  • Das Davies Escarpment ist eine etwa 16 km lange und nach Osten ausgerichtete Geländestufe ohne Felsvorsprünge im westantarktischen Marie-Byrd-Land. Sie befindet sich südlich des Bermel Escarpment im südlichen Teil der Thiel Mountains. Die Benennung dieser Formation erfolgte auf Vorschlag der US-amerikanischen Kartografen Peter Frank Bermel und Arthur B. Ford, die von 1960 bis 1961 gemeinsam eine Erkundungsexpedition des United States Geological Survey zu den Thiel Mountains leiteten. Namensgeber ist der Geologe William Edward Davies (1917–1990), der von 1954 bis 1955 an der Forschungsfahrt des Eisbrechers auf der Suche nach Standorten für Forschungsstationen im Rahmen des Internationalen Geophysikalischen Jahres (1957–1958) beteiligt war.
