Cruchley Ice Piedmont (60°41′S 45°1′W) is an ice piedmont between the east margins of Powell Island and its north-south range of hills, extending 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) northward from the John Peaks, in the South Orkney Islands. It is a new name applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1987 that historically derives from James Weddell's map of 1825 on which Powell Island is charted as two islands, the southern one being "Cruchley's Island."
