Narrative

A small re-entrant of the ice shelf into the plateau on the western end of the Amery Ice Shelf. Photographed by ANARE aircraft in 1956. The position of the feature was fixed by John Manning, surveyor at Mawson (1967) in February, 1968. So named because the survey party was flown into the area after sunset, necessitating navigation and photo identification in twilight.
