The Crossover Pass is a mountain pass in the Shackleton Range in the East Antarctic Coatsland . It connects the Gordon Glacier with the Cornwall Glacier .
It was first mapped in 1957 by participants in the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958), who used the pass in connection with both glaciers on a sledge excursion as a transition ( English crossover ) through the Shackleton Range from north to south.
