Description (see definition): A cirque containing a small glacier between Scheuermann Spur and Corell Cirque in the S part of the Darwin Mountains.

Harvey of Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, engaged in the U.S. Antarctic Project (USAP) Antarctic Search for Meteorites in the Transantarctic Mountains for many austral summers, 1992-2001, ultimately as ANSMET principal investigator.
