Salisbury Bluff

Salisbury Bluff is the point forming the south side of the entrance to Las Palmas Cove in Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and surmounted by a 161 m height. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers operating from nearby Johnsons Dock.

The feature is named after the British sealing vessel Salisbury under Captain Thomas Hodges, which visited the South Shetlands in 1820–21.
