The feature is one of three prominent snow saddles on Ross Island, this one at c.800 m between Mount Bird and Mount Erebus. Named in association with Mount Bird, which rises to l800 m to the N of this saddle.
(The unofficial names Bird Saddle, Terra Nova Saddle, and Terror Saddle appear in two papers (Palais et al) included in Volcanological and environmental studies of Mount Erebus, Antarctica. Antarctic Research Series, Vol 66, 1994. Standardization of the three toponyms as described would discourage varying possible use of the names.)
