Narrative

Ice-filled inlet which recedes SW 15 mi between Three Slice Nunatak and Cape Freeman, on the E coast of Graham Land. The inlet was sighted by Sir Hubert Wilkins on his flight of Dec. 20, 1928. The width of Graham Land is reduced to 20 mi between the heads of Trail Inlet and Neny Fjord. So named by the US-SCAN because it was a natural route of travel for flights and sledge trips from the East Base of the USAS, 1939-41, to the E coast of Graham Land.
