2 unusual facts about Armitage Saddle


Armitage Saddle

The saddle is at the south end of the "Snow Valley" (the upper part of Blue Glacier) that was mapped by Armitage in 1902, and subsequently wrongly omitted from maps of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13.

They named it for Lieutenant Albert Armitage, second-in-command of the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, in recognition of his exploration in this area.
