Big Brother Bluff (71°28′S 159°48′E / 71.467°S 159.800°E / -71.467; 159.800) is a high, angular granite bluff, 2,840 metres (9,320 ft) high, along the west wall of Daniels Range, 6 nautical miles (11 km) north of Mount Burnham, in the Usarp Mountains. It was so named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1963–64, because it is visible from 50 nautical miles (90 km) north and from many points across Rennick Glacier. Hence the reminiscence from George Orwell's famous saying from Nineteen Eighty-Four, "Big Brother is watching you".[1]
