Jeffery Head (74°33′S 111°54′W / 74.550°S 111.900°W / -74.550; -111.900) is a conspicuous, rock bluff, or headland, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) south of Brush Glacier on the west side of Bear Peninsula, on the Walgreen Coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was first photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in January 1947, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Stuart S. Jeffery, a researcher in ionospheric physics at Byrd Station in 1966.[1]
