The Szabo Bluff is a cliff in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the Queen Maud Mountains , it rises just north of Price Bluff on the watershed between the Van Reeth and Robison glaciers .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using the United States Navy's own surveys and aerial photographs from 1960 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Lieutenant Alex J. Szabo, pilot of the Navy squadron VX-6 during Operation Deep Freeze in 1966 and 1967.
