Description (see definition): A meltwater stream 1 mi south of Gneiss Point on the coast of Victoria Land. It issues from the front of Wilson Piedmont Glacier and flows eastward to Arnold Cove.

Named by Nichols for Lieutenant Alexander Surko, U.S. Navy (USN), second-in-command of the Navy party that worked on the aircraft landing strip close north of this stream.
