This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
A piece of land projecting into the Shackleton Ice Shelf, 31km west of Cape Moyes. In March 1912, the first Western Base sledging journey with the dogs aimed to lay a depot to lessen the outgoing load of the eastern exploration planned for later that year.
This feature was named in 2018 in recognition of the dog that served on the AAE. 'Zip', was named by Lieut. B.E.S. Ninnis, RF, a member of the AAE who lost his life during the far-east sledge journey. Ninnis named the dog in honour of one of his closest friends Lieut. H.E. Meade whose nickname was 'Zip'.
