The Engberg Bluff is a massive and icy cliff in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises up between the mouths of the Argonaut and Meander Glaciers in the southern section of the Mariner Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the cliff using their own surveys and using aerial photographs by the United States Navy between 1960 and 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1969 after Larry W. Engberg, a meteorologist at Hallett Station in 1961.
