"A remarkable feature, giving the immediate visual impression of a large amphitheatre located on the eastern side of the Denman Glacier approximately 1.5km south of Cape Jones, Queen Mary Land. Feature bounded in west by ice-cliffs associated with narrow glacier tongue, up to 150m wide, which has split from eastern side of Denman Glacier. In north, east and south bounded by ice-free rock associated with ice cliffs created by severe wind-scour. Floor formed by melt-water lake, ~500m long north-south and up to ~180m wide east-west, into which have toppled glacial ice fragments. The feature was noted from the air while establishing mapping control station NMS282 in February 1986. It gives the impression of a ""witch's cauldron""."
