D'Angelo Bluff is a prominent north-facing rock bluff, long, trending westward from Mount McIntyre. The bluff stands at the west side of Scott Glacier, near the head, south of Mount Early, and west of Mount Howe. It was discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party led by Quin Blackburn, in December 1934. The bluff was visited on December 5, 1962 by a geological party of the Ohio State University Institute of Polar Studies, led by George Doumani, and was named by him for CWO John D'Angelo, US Army, a helicopter pilot who landed the party on this bluff.
