Description
(see definition):
A narrow inlet at the SW corner of Terra Nova Bay. The feature is formed along a shear plane caused by differential ice movement near the coast of Victoria Land involving the N edge of Drygalski Ice Tongue and S extremities of the Nansen Ice Sheet. So named by the South Magnetic Polar Party, led by T.W.E. David, of the British Antarctic Expedition (BrAE), 1907-09, because, after almost giving up hope of rescue, the Nimrod picked up the party here.
