Kiwi Pass

Kiwi Pass (80°48′S 158°0′E) is a high pass in the Churchill Mountains of Antarctica, immediately northeast of Mount Egerton. It was named by the Northern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1960–61) who used the pass in crossing these mountains. Kiwi is a familiar nickname for New Zealanders.[1]
