The Takrouna Bluff is a small, yet striking cliff in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Freyberg Mountains it rises 10 km west-southwest of Galatos Peak above the Canham Glacier on the east side of the Alamein Range .
The northern group of a New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition campaign carried out from 1963 to 1964 named the cliff after a hill that was important in the Tunisian campaign of World War II .
