Dakota Pass
Dakota Pass (83°50′S 160°35′E) is a low pass in the Queen Elizabeth Range, to the east of Peletier Plateau. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) because the pass was used by a Dakota R4D (new designation Skytrain C-47) plane on a reconnaissance flight into the area.
