The Stevenson Bluff is a cliff in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Wilson Hills it rises 6 km northwest of Mount Ellery and forms part of the watershed between the Manna and Suvorov glaciers .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the cliff using its own surveys and aerial photographs by the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963.
