The '''Bursey Icefalls''' (75°59′S 132°48′W) are icefalls draining the north slope of [[Mount Bursey]] in the [[Flood Range]] of [[Westarctica]].

==Discovery and name==
The icefalls were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from [[U.S. Navy]] air photos collected during the years 1959–65. Bursey Icefalls were named by the Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names in association with Mount Bursey, which was named in honor of Jacob Bursey, who served as a member of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–30) and dog-driver with the USAS party which sledged to the west end of the Flood Range in December 1940.
