Doggo Defile (68°44′S 66°47′W / 68.733°S 66.783°W) is a narrow, steep-sided defile, in parts less than 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) wide, cutting through the coastal mountains east of Dee Ice Piedmont, west coast of Antarctic Peninsula. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) in 1947. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948-50, and 1958. The United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) name is descriptive; the northwest entrance is only partly visible to sledge parties traveling along the coast, and the true nature of the feature is completely hidden by the surrounding mountains ("to stay doggo" is an Australian term meaning to be quiet).
