83°3′S 157°36′E / 83.050°S 157.600°E / -83.050; 157.600Coordinates: 83°3′S 157°36′E / 83.050°S 157.600°E / -83.050; 157.600) is a snow saddle 4 nautical miles (7 km) northeast of Aurora Heights, between Argosy and in the Miller Range. It was discovered and named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1961–62), who found the deep soft snow here made snowshoeing the best method of travel.
