The Bareface Bluff ( roughly translated from English blank-faced cliff ) is a large and completely unsnow-covered cliff in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises in the Worcester Range at a height of 940 m above the Skelton Glacier between the confluences of the Ant Hill and Mason Glaciers .
The New Zealand group of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958) explored and named the cliff in 1957.
