The Home Run Bluff is a striking rock cliff in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises on the southwest side of the Homerun Range in the Admiralty Mountains or on the northeast flank of the upper section of the Tucker Glacier .
The cliff served the southern group of the New Zealand Federated Mountain Clubs Antarctic Expedition (1962–1963) as a survey station. The group named the cliff this way because it was the turning point on their way to the location of their air transportation.
