The Anderson Scarp is a 935 m high cliff in East Antarctica Victoria Land . It rises 1.3 km west of Hall Bluff on the Dais in the western section of the Wright Valley .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the cliff in 2004 after Kent Anderson of the seismological laboratory of the United States Geological Survey in Albuquerque , who played a key role in the installation of a so-called VNDA seismograph at Bull Pass near Lake Vanda in the early 1990s .
