The Early Bluff is a high cliff in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . It rises on the south side of the Kohler Range and east of the Kohler Glacier , where it branches off from the Smith Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the cliff using its own measurements and aerial photographs by the United States Navy from 1959 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Thomas Oren Early (* 1943), geologist with the United States Antarctic Research Program to explore the Marie-Byrd-Land from 1966 to 1967.
