The Esser Bluff is a 600 m high rock cliff on the Antarctic Ross Island . It rises 1.8 km east-northeast of Grazyna Bluff on the southeastern edge of Turks Head Ridge .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the cliff in 2000 at the suggestion of New Zealand geochemist Philip Raymond Kyle after Richard Esser, a member of the team at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology from Socorro for the geochronological exploration of Mount Erebus in two Antarctic summer campaigns between 1993 and 1995.
