The Morrison Bluff is a high cliff of rock and ice in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . It rises from the western massif of the Kohler Range 8 km east of Manfull Ridge .
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) mapped the cliff using its own surveys and aerial photographs by the United States Navy from 1959 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Charles E. Morrison, a topography engineer in several of the USGS's Antarctic campaigns between 1964 and 1972.
