Narrative

A long, narrow spur entering the Hood Glacier at the latitude shown, from the mountain range to the east. So named because it was ascended in order to obtain a view of the southern portion of the Hood Glacier, in order to prospect a route to the south. Later it was used as an important link in the surveying. Named by the NZ Alpine Club Antartic Expedition, 1959-60, on 16 December 1959.
