The scar is surrounded by an unbroken snow slope, and it seems to form because the snow on this lee slope is removed over a small area by a wind-eddy. It is said to be always visible, though occasionally lightly covered by snow for short periods, is consequently a landmark for pilots and for the men at Hallett Station. At the base of The Football there is a prominent rock knob and a small lake, with a train of medial moraine running from it down the centre of Edisto Glacier. Given this descriptive name by the NZGSAE, 1957-58.
