The Bunker Bluff is a striking cliff in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises immediately to the south of the mouth of the Gair glacier in the Mariner glacier and forms its western wall.
The United States Geological Survey mapped the cliff using their own surveys and aerial photographs by the United States Navy between 1960 and 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after William H. Bunker, a meteorologist at Hallett Station in 1962.
