Names that other countries have for this feature:
This feature lies just east of Barnum Peak and is the gap through which the Liv névé feeds the Liv Glacier and the pass over which Rear-Admiral Byrd made his South Pole flight in 1929. Byrd referred to this pass between the mountains many times in his book "Little America" as the "Hump" and although this name is not descriptive of the feature, it was a historical field name. The Southern Party of the NZGSAE, 1961-62, occupied nearby Barnum Peak and named this feature in order to keep the field name on the map in recognition of the South Pole flight of 1929.
