The Endurance Cliffs are a series of steep, east-facing cliffs in the Australian Antarctic Territory . They rise between Mount Summerson and Mount Albright in the southern section of the Geologists Range in the Transantarctic Mountains .
The northern group of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition campaign, carried out from 1961 to 1962, mapped them. She named the cliffs after the research ship Endurance of the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton , which he used on his Endurance expedition (1914-1916).
