A volcanic crater on Azorella Peninsula, Heard Island. In 1948 ANARE surveyor, Robert G. Dovers established a trig point on the southern rim of the crater at a height of 97 m. This was referred to as 'crater' in his field books and on the 1964 map of Heard Island. The crater was named in recognition of his extensive survey work.
