Coalsack Bluff

Coalsack Bluff (84°14′S 162°25′E / 84.233°S 162.417°E / -84.233; 162.417Coordinates: 84°14′S 162°25′E / 84.233°S 162.417°E / -84.233; 162.417) is a small rock bluff standing at the northern limits of Walcott Neve, 6 nautical miles (11 km) west-southwest of Bauhs Nunatak. It was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) because of the coal seams found running through the bluff.[1]
