Springtail Bluff (71°2′S 165°12′E / 71.033°S 165.200°E / -71.033; 165.200) is the steep, south-facing bluff that borders the eastern half of Mount Hemphill, in the Anare Mountains.[1][2] So named by the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64, for the find of small insects (Collembola) in this location.[3]
