Narrative

A shallow, blue ice glacial slope or overflow, 3km wide, which is a distributary of Flight Deck Névé over subdued steps between Dotson Ridge and Flagship Mountain, in Convoy Range, Victoria Land. Feature shown on: NZ AntTopo50-MC08

Named For

The name was applied by a New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme (NZARP) field party to commemorate an incident when the steering gear of a motor toboggan broke during the 1989-90 season. At the time, this glacier was being used as access to a camp at Flagship Mountain, and the slope had to be negotiated twice without steerage.
