Description
(see definition):
A snow pass at c. 1,050 m at the head of Sullivan Glacier in N Alexander Island. The pass trends NE-SW and provides access to and from the upper part of Hampton Glacier. So named by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1977, because the pass falls away steeply to the SW between high cliffs, so that the descent by sledge is fast and exhilarating as suggested by the name.
