The Corell Cirque is a big, stuffed with glacial cirques of the southern part of Darwin Mountains in Transantarctic Mountains . It is located at the eastern end of the Prebble Icefalls between Harvey Cirque and Duncan Bluff and is the transit station for the ice masses from the Midnight Plateau to the Hatherton Glacier .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the Bergkessel in 2001 after the American climate researcher Robert Corell (* 1934), chairman of the directorate for geosciences of the National Science Foundation from 1987 to 1999.
