The Foster Bluff is a striking rock cliff on the southwest shore of Herring Iceland in the archipelago of the Windmill Islands off the Budd Coast of the East Antarctic Wilke country .
Aerial photographs of the US operation Highjump (1946–1947) and Operation Windmill (1947–1948) were used to map it. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1960 after Danny L. Foster, a meteorologist at Wilkes Station in 1962.
