Names that other countries have for this feature:
A step-like rise in the level of Tucker Glacier above its junction with Trafalgar Glacier. It is very crevassed in its northern half, but there is a good route of easy gradient through it towards its southern end. Biscuits were an important part of the expedition's rations (Australasian colloquialism "tucker"), and a small dump of them was left near the step for the return down the glacier of the NZ Geological Antarctic Expedition, 1957-58, which named the feature.
