Small knoll at the northeast end of spur separating Pagodroma Gorge being the first gully to the south west of Beaver Lake camp. Comparison of these massive bluffs to the diminutive but clear standing feature considered here prompts the use of the term knoll. Named for: Professor Bardin carried out pioneering studies of the glacial geology of the region and was an academician of note in the then USSR. Bardin 1. Spent several seasons with SAE (Soviet Antarctic Expeditions) in the Prince Charles Mountains (PCMs). 2. Published numerous pioneering research papers on the ancient (> 2 Ma) glacial deposits and the landscape evolution of the PCMs throughout the 1970s and 1980s. 3. A major publication in 1982 drew attention to important exposures of ancient glacial strata in the impressive bluffs (ie Bardin Bluffs) near the mouth of Pagodroma Gorge in the Amery Oasis (northern PCMs).

rising to 745m N of Sobral Peninsula, Nordenskj"ld Coast, was surveyed by FIDS from "Hope Bay", 1960-61; in association with the names of pioneer designers of oversnow vehicles grouped in this area, named after the Cletrac tractor, made by the Cleveland Tractor Company, Ohio, and the first to be used successfully in the Antarctic, on the Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933-35 (APC, 1964, p.3; BAS 250 sheet SQ 21-22/1, 1-DOS 1974).

A conspicuous steep-sided peak at the NW corner of Larsen Inlet, immediately N of Muskeg Gap, in Graham Land. Mapped from surveys by FIDS (1960-61). Named by UK-APC after Cletrac tractors made by the Cleveland Tractor Co., Ohio, the first to be used successfully in the Antarctic, by Admiral Byrd's second expedition (1933-35).
