Brown Bluff is a basalt tuya on the Tabarin Peninsula of northern Antarctica.[2] It formed in the last 1 million years as a result of subglacial eruptions within an englacial lake. The volcano's original diameter is thought to have been about 12–15 kilometers (7.5–9.3 mi) and was probably formed by a single vent. Brown Bluff is divided into four stages: pillow volcano, tuff cone, slope failure, and hyaloclastite delta; and into five structural units.[3]

The volcano gets its name from its steep slopes and brown-to-black hyaloclastite. It was applied by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey following their survey in 1946.[1]
