Names that other countries have for this feature:
A low, but rather rough and steep pass rising to 10 m above sea level, between the south-western arm of Tryne Fjord and Long Fjord. Used for portage of sledges and probably suitable for tracked vehicles. The area was mapped from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37); also photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). First traversed by an ANARE party led by Bruce H. Stinear on 13 May, 1957.
So named because of its association with Tryne Fjord.
