Names that other countries have for this feature:
A low pass about 0.5 km long, rising to 6 m above sea level, between the south-east arm of Tryne Fjord and Long Fjord in the Vestfold Hills. Used for the portage of sledges and suitable for tracked vehicles. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37). First visited by an ANARE sledging party led by Bruce H. Stinear in 1957.
So named because it was by this route that the first recorded traverse was made from Tryne Fjord to Long Fjord.
