The Grazyna Bluff is a turn 600 m high rock cliff on the Antarctic Ross Island . It rises 2.5 km north-northeast of Turks Head in the southern part 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 Grażyna Zreda-Gostyńska, who was part of the team at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology from Socorro who explored Mount Erebus between 1989 and 1990 .
