The Brindle Cliffs are up to 610 m high, distinctive and non-iced rock cliffs on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They rise 10 km east of Cape Jeremy , the border point between the Fallières coast and the Rymill coast of the Palmerland to the south .
They were first sighted and photographed from the air on August 16, 1936 during the British Graham Land Expedition under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . The Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey carried out a survey in 1948 and named the cliffs after their striped ( English brindle ) coloration caused by banding .
