Banded Bluff (85°20′S 169°30′W / 85.333°S 169.500°W / -85.333; -169.500) is a prominent bluff about 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, rising 3 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of McKinley Nunatak, where it forms a part of the east wall of Liv Glacier. It was so named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names because of the alternate bands of snow and rock which mark the steep face of the bluff.[1]
