The Helo Cliffs (77°30′S 167°7′E / 77.500°S 167.117°E) are a set of prominent cliffs at about 3,525 metres (11,565 ft) on the north rim of the summit caldera of Mount Erebus, on Ross Island, Antarctica. The name derives from a nearby U.S. Coast Guard HH-52A helicopter (CG 1404) which lost power and crashed while en route from McMurdo Station to Cape Bird, January 9, 1971. The four crew and passengers were not injured, but the helicopter was abandoned because of its location.[1]
