Narrative

The Bunker Cwm lies below a rock escarpment of Mt Miller, ten miles from the summit, adjacent to the Bowden Névé, from which it is separated by a 600m wall of rock. The cwm is encircled on nearly all sides by an escarpment of rock and ice, but from one side a small glacier leads into the Lowery Glacier. The name Bunker is of descriptive origin, suggested by the shape of the feature, a scooped-out hollow in the flanks of Mt Miller. The name was given by the NZGSAE, 1959-60.
