Description
(see definition):
Low point forming the S side of the entrance to New Harbor on the coast of Victoria Land. Discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (BrNAE) (1901-04) under Scott. So named by them because the Ferrar Glacier party left a tin of butter here, in anticipation of obtaining fresh seal meat at this point on the return journey.
