The Bermel Escarpment (85°17′S 89°30′W / 85.283°S 89.500°W / -85.283; -89.500 ) is a snow and rock escarpment, 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) long, extending from the base of the Ford Massif to King Peak, in the Thiel Mountains of Antarctica. The escarpment drops 300 to 400 metres (980 to 1,310 ft) from the Antarctic Plateau to the ice surface north of these mountains.[1]
