The Soza Icefalls are a series of glacier breaks up to 200 m high in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Churchill Mountains they lie on the southern edge of the Chapman snowfield and extend from Mount Massam in a south-westerly direction to near the head end of the Starshot Glacier .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 2003 after Ezekiel Rodriguez Soza (1915-1983), topography engineer for the United States Geological Survey , who was involved in exploring the Churchill Mountains between 1961 and 1962.
