'''Klimov Bluff''' (74°52′S 114°2′W) is a partly [[ice]]-free east-facing bluff, located at the southeast end of [[Jenkins Heights]], 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) southeast of Mount Bray on the [[Walgreen Coast]] of [[Westarctica]].

==Discovery and name==
The bluff was mapped by the United States Geological Survey using surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] air photos taken during the years 1959–66. Klimov Bluff was named by the Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names after Lev V. Klimov, a Soviet exchange scientist who wintered over at McMurdo Station in 1966. He accompanied the United States Antarctic Research Program [[Marie Byrd Land]] Survey party throughout the 1966–67 research season. The American scientists on the expedition stated: "valuable exchanges of ideas on geological questions resulted from his presence."

==Peerage title==
On 7 April 2020 Ian Edmonston was granted the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] Count of Klimov in recognition of his support of Westarctica.
