Coalseam Cliffs
Coalseam Cliffs are rock cliffs forming the north-western part of Mount Faraway in the Theron Mountains. They were first mapped in 1956–57 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, and so named because a coal seam was found when members of the CTAE made an aircraft landing there in 1957.| Tap on a place to explore it |
