Husky Pass

Husky Pass (71°40′S 163°34′E / 71.667°S 163.567°E / -71.667; 163.567Coordinates: 71°40′S 163°34′E / 71.667°S 163.567°E / -71.667; 163.567) is a pass between the Lanterman Range and Molar Massif in the Bowers Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica, located at the head of Sledgers Glacier and an unnamed tributary, leading to Leap Year Glacier. This mountain pass was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1963–64, for the great efforts made here by dog teams in hauling out of the Rennick Glacier basin into that of Lillie Glacier. The pass lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.[1]
