Dwyer Escarpment

The Dwyer Escarpment (70°38′S 165°24′E) is an ice-covered escarpment that overlooks the north coast of Victoria Land between Cooper Spur and Cape North, Antarctica. This feature was first mapped by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE ) in 1962, which gave the name after L.J. Dwyer, a former Director of the Australian Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology, and a member of the ANARE Executive Planning Committee. The escarpment lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
