Discovery and naming
This feature was named by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE), 1949-52, which used it to moor and unload the expedition ship Norsel. The low ice front permitted easy access onto Quar Ice Shelf, where the NBSAE established Maudheim Station about 1 nautical mile south of the iceport.[1]
