Names that other countries have for this feature:
The Southern Party which named this feature were told at this buttress that they could not descend the Robert Scott Glacier as they had planned, a sledge running which had broken had to be temporarily fixed and relaying of loads began; and the only lead dog of the party had to be killed with a picket hammer. The dog's name was Dismal - a husky with eight years of Antarctic experience. Named by the Southern Party of the NZGSAE, 1961-62, for Dismal who had travelled many thousands of miles in the Antarctic.
