D'Angelo Bluff (87°18′S 154°0′W / 87.300°S 154.000°W / -87.300; -154.000) is a prominent north-facing rock bluff, 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, trending westward from Mount McIntyre. The bluff stands at the west side of Scott Glacier, near the head, 13 nautical miles (24 km) south of Mount Early, and west of Mount Howe.[1] It was discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party led by Quin Blackburn, in December 1934. The bluff was visited on December 5, 1962, by a geological party of the Ohio State University Institute of Polar Studies, led by George Doumani, and was named by him for CWO John D'Angelo, US Army, a helicopter pilot who landed the party on this bluff.[2][3]
