Descent Pass

Descent Pass (77°52′S 163°5′E / 77.867°S 163.083°E / -77.867; 163.083) is a pass leading from Blue Glacier to Ferrar Glacier, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was so named by the party led by Armitage of the Discovery expedition (1901–04) because of the adventurous descent to Ferrar Glacier made here via Descent Glacier in 1902.
