Cranfield Icefalls

The Cranfield Icefalls are a series of about eight spectacular icefalls, in an east-west line, falling steeply from Bucknell Ridge into the narrowest portion of Darwin Glacier near its mouth. The feature was named by the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) for W.J. Cranfield, a member of the party.
