	~~==The Zilch Cliffs==~~
	Zilch Cliffs (74°58′S 134°55′W) is a series of steep cliffs that mark the east extremity of McDonald Heights near the coast of [[Westarctica]]. The cliffs were photographed from aircraft of United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, and were mapped in detail from [[U.S. Navy]] air photos and United States Geological Survey (USGS) surveys, 1959-65. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant Commander C.H. Zilch, U.S. Navy, Officer-in-Charge of the meteorological support unit during Operation Deep Freeze 1966.
