The Corner Cliffs (72°4′S 68°25′W / 72.067°S 68.417°W) are a rocky mass surmounted by two flat-topped summits 1.5 nautical miles (3 km), immediately south of Saturn Glacier and lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) northeast of Coal Nunatak in the southeast part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The rocks of these cliffs were hidden from the line of sight by intervening ice slopes to the west, but the two rock ridges forming the northwest shoulder of this feature were first seen and photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935, and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. The cliffs were first surveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who gave this name to mark the point where the exposed rock of eastern Alexander Island turns from a north–south directi

  • Die Corner-Kliffs sind Felsenkliffs mit zwei 2,5 km auseinanderliegenden, abgeflachten Gipfeln auf der westantarktischen Alexander-I.-Insel. Sie ragen unmittelbar südlich des Saturn-Gletschers im südöstlichen Teil der Insel auf. Nordwestlich liegt der ständig von einer fast 4 m dicken Eisschicht bedeckte Hodgson-See. Die beiden felsigen Gebirgskämme, welche die nordwestliche Schulter dieser Formation bilden, sichtete und fotografierte erstmals der US-amerikanische Polarforscher Lincoln Ellsworth bei seinem Antarktisflug am 23. November 1935. Die Luftaufnahmen dienten dem US-amerikanischen Kartografen W. L. G. Joerg für eine Kartierung. Der Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey nahm im Jahr 1949 Vermessungen der Kliffs vor. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte sie am 31. März 1955 so, weil sie eine Landmarke darstellen, in denen die Felsformationen von einer nordsüdlichen Ausrichtung nach Südwesten abknicken.
