Misty Pass

Location of Trinity Peninsula.

Misty Pass (63°29′S 57°59′W / 63.483°S 57.983°W / -63.483; -57.983) is a pass, 700 m high, between the head of Broad Valley and Ogoya Glacier descending north to Bransfield Strait, situated 8 nautical miles (15 km) southeast of Cape Ducorps on Trinity Peninsula. Mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1946, and so named because clouds pouring east through the pass had been noted by the survey party to herald bad weather.
