Pettigrew Scarp is an escarpment nearly 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) long in the south part of Annenkov Island, South Georgia. It is terminated to the southwest by a ridge, and to the northeast by three rock pinnacles. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Timothy H. Pettigrew, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) geologist who worked on the island, 1972-73.
