The Limmershin Cliffs are around 100 m high cliffs on the West Antarctic James Ross Island . They rise up in a west-southwest-east-southeast orientation over a length of 2 km on the south bank of Holluschickie Bay , then turn for a further 2 km to the southeast and are then no longer visible under the inland masses of ice and snow.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 2006 after the wren Limmershin from the story The Jungle Book by the British writer Rudyard Kipling .
