Ross Pass


Ross Pass is a narrow but well-defined pass between the southeast end of the Allardyce Range and the northwest end of the Salvesen Range in South Georgia. The pass is 610 m high and provides a sledging route between Ross Glacier and Brogger Glacier. It was first mapped in 1882-83 by the German group of the International Polar Year Investigations who referred to it as "Gletscher-Joch". The name Ross Pass, which derives from association with nearby Ross Glacier, was given by the SGS following their survey of 1951–52.
