The '''Watson Escarpment''' (86°0′S 145°0′W) is a major escarpment in the [[Queen Maud Mountains]], trending northward along the east margin of [[Scott Glacier]], then eastward to [[Reedy Glacier]] where it turns southward along the [[glacier]]'s west side. Somewhat arcuate, the escarpment is nearly 100 nautical miles (180 km) long, rises 3,550 m above sea level, and 1,000 to 1,500 m above the adjacent terrain. | The '''Watson Escarpment''' (86°0′S 145°0′W) is a major escarpment in the [[Queen Maud Mountains]], trending northward along the east margin of [[Scott Glacier]], then eastward to [[Reedy Glacier]] where it turns southward along the [[glacier]]'s west side.
