The Baldwin Bluff is a rock cliff in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It looms in the Admiralty Mountains along the southwest flank of Ironside Glacier at a distance of 5 miles southwest of the summit of Mount Whewell .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the cliff on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from the years between 1960 and 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after the American biologist Howard A. Baldwin, who between 1966 and in 1967 worked on the McMurdo station .
