Fletcher Bluff

Fletcher Bluff is a sea cliff rising to some 2,625 feet above the sea on the eastern side of Fuchs Ice Piedmont on the west coast of Adelaide Island in the British Antarctic Territory.

Following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Adelaide in 1961-62, and geological work in the area by the British Antarctic Survey 1980-81, it was named after David Donald William Fletcher (b. 1948), the British Antarctic Survey general assistant at Halley 1972-73; Station Commander at Signy 1973-74, and Rothera 1976-81 (summers).
