This name originates from United Kingdom. It is part of the Gazetteer of the British Antarctic Territory and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
W end of Desko Mountains, Rothschild Island, was named following geological work by BAS from "Fossil Bluff", 1976-77, when the field party took temporary shelter in a snow hole in this pass, after their tent was blown down on 28 November 1976 (APC, 1980, p.3).
