The Walt-cliff is a striking rock cliff in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the Flood Range it rises on the northeast side of the base of Mount Berlin .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using the United States Navy's own surveys and aerial photographs from 1959 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1974 after Dennis Shelby Walts (* 1944) of the United States Weather Bureau , a meteorologist on the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1970.
