A mountain pass between Hogskavlen Mountain and Domen Butte in the Borg Massif, Queen Maud Land. The feature was first photographed from the air by the GerAE (1938-39). It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by NBSAE (1949-52) and named Tyskepasset (the German pass), presumedly because it was seen earlier by the German expedition. |
