Description (see definition): A snow pass between Cairn Ridge and Czamanske Ridge, providing access to Tranquillity Valley in the Dufek Massif (q.v.), Pensacola Mountains. Named from association with Tranquillity Valley; also because during the 1976-77 season, Arthur B. Ford and Willis H. Nelson, of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), on discovery of a Soviet Antarctic Expedition (SovAE) helicopter cache left here the previous summer, left a note of welcome to the Dufek Massif for the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (SovAE) party leader, Garrik Grikurov.
