The Saunders Bluff is a small and isolated cliff in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises 15 km east-southeast of Miller Butte in the Outback Nunatakkern .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the cliff using its own surveys and aerial photographs by the United States Navy from 1959 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Jeffrey J. Saunders, biological-technical assistant at McMurdo Station from 1965 to 1966.
