The Rockfall Cliff (English for rock fall cliff ) is a striking cliff in the West Antarctic Ellsworthlands . In the Jones Mountains , it forms the northwest side of Mount Loweth .
Participants in a University of Minnesota expedition to the Jones Mountains from 1960 to 1961 mapped and named it. It was named after the rocks falling continuously from the cliff, which had seriously endangered the investigation of the object.
