Name ID: 114292
Place ID: 12597
A long low spur of rock projecting from a nunatak on the southern side of the Mill Glacier. The nunatak is joined to the Dominion Range only by a moraine 6 metres high, but the nunatak is in a sense part of the Dominion Range. When the Southern Party of the NZGSAE, 1961-62, which named this feature crossed the Mill Glacier for the first time in November 1961, this spur of rock was their landfall and from it they reported to base by radio that they had successfully crossed the glacier. |

Name ID: 131114
Place ID: 12597
A small rock spur from the Dominion Range, extending SE from a broad isolated prominence between the mouth of Vandament Glacier and the W side of Mill Glacier. So named by the Southern Party of the NZGSAE (1961-62) because it was at this landfall that the party arrived after their first crossing of Mill Glacier in November 1961. |
