567:. Ice-covered cliffs marked by rock exposures, rising to 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) at the northeast edge of Fuchs Dome, Shackleton Range. Photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and surveyed by BAS, 1968-71. Named by the UK-APC after Peter D. Clarkson, BAS geologist, Halley Station, 1968-70, who worked in the area for four seasons, 1968-71, 1977-78; Head, BAS Mineralogy, Geology and Geochemistry Section, 1976-89; at SPRI from 1989.
259:, where the plateau narrows to under 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) in width. It has an average height of around 1,500 metres (4,900 ft), and gradually slopes to the north down to 1,100 to 1,300 metres (3,600 to 4,300 ft). There are steep ice slopes along the margins of the plateau, which often have crevasses and in some places have ice falls. The plateau surface is a discontinuous and faulted undulating
711:. Hills rising to 1,305 metres (4,281 ft) to the south of Fuchs Dome and 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Stephenson Bastion, in the Shackleton Range. Photographed from the air by the U.

667:. A line of east–west cliffs rising to over 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) at the south margin of Fuchs Dome, Shackleton Range. Surveyed by the CTAE, 1957, photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and further surveyed by BAS, 1968-71. Named by the UK-APC after Charles A. Clayton, BAS surveyor, Halley Station, 1969-71, who worked in the area.
