Narrative

rising to c. 930m at Helm Peak and including also Simoom Hill, SW of Wordie Ice Shelf, Fallières Coast, were roughly surveyed from the ground by BGLE in 1936-37 and photographed from the air by RARE, 27 November 1947; resurveyed by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in December 1958, and so named because both BGLE and later FIDS sledging parties had to relay their loads through this area to the head of Prospect Glacier (APC, 1962, p.26; BAS 610 sheets W 69 66 and 69 68, 1963).
