January Col

January Col (83°24′S 162°0′E) is a high col on the north side of Claydon Peak, Prince Andrew Plateau, Antarctica. When the New Zealand southern party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) approached from New Year Pass they were able to gain a view of the mountains to the north and east, and they so named the col because they climbed it in January 1958.[1]
