Usas Escarpment (76°0′S 130°0′W / 76.000°S 130.000°W) is an expansive but discontinuous north-facing escarpment in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It is about 320 kilometres (199 mi) long, extending roughly west to east along the 76th parallel south from where the elevation of the snow surface descends toward the Ruppert Coast and Hobbs Coast. The position of the escarpment coincides with the north slopes of the Flood Range, Ames Range, McCuddin Mountains, and the eastern peaks of Mount Galla, Mount Aldaz and Benes Peak. The escarpment was observed by members of the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, and in ensuing scientific reports was referred to as 76th Parallel Escarpment. The approved name is an acronym for the discovery expedition.

- Das Usas Escarpment ist eine ausgedehnte, diskontinuierlich nach Norden ausgerichtete Geländestufe im westantarktischen Marie-Byrd-Land. Sie ist rund 320 km lang und erstreckt sich in etwa parallel des 76. südlichen Breitengrads, von wo ihre Schneedecke in Richtung der Ruppert- und der Hobbs-Küste abfällt. Zur Geländestufe gehören die nördlichen Hänge der Flood Range, der Ames Range, der McCuddin Mountains und im Osten die Gipfel des Mount Galla, des Mount Aldaz und des Benes Peak. (de)

Zur Geländestufe gehören die nördlichen Hänge der Flood Range, der Ames Range, der McCuddin Mountains und im Osten die Gipfel des Mount Galla, des Mount Aldaz und des Benes Peak. Die Geländestufe wurde von Mitgliedern des United States Antarctic Service (USAS), nach deren Akronym sie schließlich benannt wurde, zwischen 1939 und 1941 entdeckt. Die ursprüngliche Benennung als 76th Parallel Escarpment in Anlehnung an die geographische Lage setzte sich nicht durch. (de)
