Dakota Pass

Dakota Pass (83°50′S 160°35′E / 83.833°S 160.583°E / -83.833; 160.583) is a low pass in the Queen Elizabeth Range, to the east of Peletier Plateau. Named by New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1961–62) because the pass was used by a Dakota R4D (new designation Skytrain C-47) plane on a reconnaissance flight into the area.
