Centaur Bluff

Centaur Bluff (81°50′S 160°30′E) is a steep bluff on the eastern side of the Surveyors Range, 4.5 nautical miles (8 km) west of Mount Canopus. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1960–61) after the star Centauri, which was frequently used to fix survey stations.[1]
