Narrative

NW-SE pass at c. 1150m between the head of Casey Glacier and Lurabee Glacier, Wilkins Coast, was photographed from the air by Wilkins, 21 November 1935 (Joerg, 1936, Fig.9, p.457); rephotographed from the air by RARE, 22 December 1947, and surveyed from the ground by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in 1947 and 1960; so named because the pass was approached from "Stonington Island" on the last day of 1960, the Scottish feast of Hogmanay (APC, 1962, p.16; DOS 610 sheet W 69 62, 1963).
