Berrister Gap

February 27, 2024

Berrister Gap (Bulgarian: седловина Беристър, romanized: sedlovina Berrister, IPA: [sɛdlovi'na 'bɛristər]) is the ice-covered 3.7 km long saddle of elevation 191 m[1] on western Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, linking Casanovas Peak on the northeast to Rotch Dome on the southwest. It is part of the glacial divide between Verila Glacier on the southeast and Etar Snowfield on the northwest. The area was known to early 19th century sealers.[2] The gap was visited by a field party from the British base camp Station P during the summer season 1957/58.[3]

Location of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands

The feature is named after Andrew Berrister, a fictional scientist from Simon Beaufort’s novel The Killing Ship, who crossed the gap while running for help from Hannah Point to Barclay Bay.
