Ebony Wall
Ebony Wall (63°55′S 59°9′W / 63.917°S 59.150°W) is a dark, nearly vertical rock wall in Antarctica, which rises about 400 metres (1,300 ft) at the head of Pettus Glacier. The wall is about 2 nautical miles (4 km) long and forms a part of the western escarpment of Detroit Plateau near the base of Trinity Peninsula. It was charted in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey who applied the descriptive name.[1]
