Spindrift Bluff
Spindrift Bluff () is an east–west trending bluff (about 700 m) located close south of Mistral Ridge in northwest Palmer Land. Surveyed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1971–72, and so named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), 1977. A local wind blows in this area and spindrift sweeps from the bluff, when it is calm elsewhere. Cliffs of Palmer Land {{PalmerLand-geo-stub ...

Mistral Ridge
Mistral Ridge () is a mostly snow-covered ridge extending in a north-northwest–south-southeast direction, located east of Zonda Towers, Rymill Coast, Palmer Land, Antarctica. The ridge was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy in 1966, and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey in 1971–72. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977 after the mistral, the cold northwesterly wind of southern France. This is one of several features in the area named after winds.
