Narrative

A very large, badly crevassed ice dome about 72 km south-east of Onley Hill, Mac.Robertson Land. The dome was the site of a tellurometer station established during an ANARE traverse from Mawson to Church Mountain, led by John Manning, surveyor at Mawson in 1967. The names describes the feelings of the party, which was considerably delayed there because of vehicle breakdown and forced to leave the survey incomplete until the following spring.
