Names that other countries have for this feature:
An ice-free narrow passageway between the terminus of Suess Glacier and the talus-covered mountain slope of Mt Nussbaum. This defile is a radiation gully. It was first seen by early Bristish expeditions but first described, named and photographed by Griffith Taylor in 1911. The name was suggested for official adoption by Professor T L Péwé of the US Deep Freeze III, 1957-58, because of its use in scientific publications as well as in earlier accounts. The name is truly descriptvie of the narrow passageway.
