The Rowe Bluff is a 1,200 m high cliff on the Bowman Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is 5 miles northeast of Williamson Bluff on the north bank of Trail Inlet .
Aerial photographs by the US polar explorer Lincoln Ellsworth from November 21, 1935 were used by the US cartographer WLG Joerg for an initial mapping. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1977 after Lieutenant Commander Gary L.
