Muckle Bluff

Muckle Bluff is a bluff five and a half miles west of Walker Point on the south coast of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands of the British Antarctic Territory. It projects into the sea, as the southern end of the island's Pardo Ridge, in the east part of the island, rising to 2,080 feet above the sea

The bluff was surveyed by the Joint Services Expedition to Elephant Island in 1970-71, on which expedition 'Sailors Cache' was established near shore below the bluff. The name for this prominent point was applied by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 descriptively, as a big bluff.
