The Nordenskjöld Outcrops are cliffs on the Nordenskjöld Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the west side of the Longing Peninsula , they extend from the area around Longing Gap over a length of 3 km in a southerly direction.
The British Antarctic Survey conducted geological surveys in the area between 1987 and 1988. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1991 after the Swedish polar explorer Otto Nordenskjöld (1869-1928), who led the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901-1903) to explore the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
