The Kelsey-cliff is a prominent cliff on the Lassiter Coast of Palmer Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises southeast of Mount Owen at the eastern end of the Guettard Range .
Participants of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) and employees of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it during a joint excursion by dog sled. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Lawrence Dewolf Kelsey Jr. (* 1926), a radio operator on the Ronne expedition.
