Name ID: 113358
Place ID: 5001
A narrow ice saddle at the head of the Fry Glacier, 5 miles WSW of Mount Douglas. At periods of more intense glaciation, ice doubtless flowed east into the Fry Glacier through this gap, but at present an ice slopes descends several hundred feet westwards from the saddle. Discovered by the Northern Survey Party of the NZTAE, 1956-58, in December 1957, and named by them because of its proximity to Fry Glacier. |
