McCallum Pass

The McCallum Pass is a mountain pass stretching north-west to south-east between the north-east ridge of Mount Mangin and Stokes Peaks (on the south side of Stonehouse Bay), in the Princess Royal Range in the southern part of Adelaide Island, in the British Antarctic Territory. The pass leads from the Wright Peninsula to the Fuchs Ice Piedmont.

The pass was surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey from Adelaide in 1961-62 and was named by the Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1963 after Hugh Campbell Gordon McCallum (b.1937), British Antarctic Survey general assistant at Faraday 1960-61, and Adelaide 1961-62, who with A. Crouch first traversed the pass in 1961. Crouch has Crouch Island named after him.
