Names that other countries have for this feature:
A crater with twin nested cones that rises behind McMurdo Station and 800m west of Crater Hill on Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island. Feature shown on: NZ AntTopo50-MF13
This crater was named Middle Crater by Frank Debenham of the British Antarctic Expedition (Terra Nova expedition, BrAE), 1910-13, apparently for its location in relation to First Crater and Crater Hill, but the name has fallen into disuse. Twin Crater, alluding to the nested cones in the crater, was applied as early as 1971 and the name has become established because of consistent use in current maps and reports. (The Committee for Place Naming in the Ross Sea Region, initially favoured retaining Middle Crater which is listed in the 1958 NZGB Gazetteer.)
