395:. A series of ice-covered cliffs which face seaward along the northern side of McDonald Heights. The cliffs stand between Hanessian Foreland and Hagey Ridge and descend abruptly from about 800 metres (2,600 ft) high, the average summit elevation, to 400 metres (1,300 ft) high at the base. The feature was photographed from aircraft of the United States Antarctic Service, 1939-41, and was mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-66. Named by US-ACAN (1974) for Rolf P. Bjornert of the Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, who served in the capacity of Station Projects Manager for Antarctica.
