Description
(see definition):
A moraine-filled valley on the N side of Mount Dromedary, formerly occupied by the coalescing glaciers that descend NE and N from Mount Kempe and Mount Dromedary. The New Zealand Victoria University's Antarctic Expeditions (VUWAE), 1960-61, which named this feature, experienced strong winds at most campsites in this area, but none of such violence and destructive force as those which struck their camp at the mouth of this valley, hence the name.
