The dart moraine is an 11 km long and brown colored moraine in the east Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It is south of Radok Lake and Pagodroma Gorge and west of the Flagstone Bench at the eastern end of the Aramis Range in the Prince Charles Mountains .
Aerial photographs were taken in 1956 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE). Namesake is John Robert Dart, radio operator of an ANARE team to explore the Prince Charles Mountains, who crossed this moraine several times between January and February 1969 on the way between the camp on Radok Lake and the landing pad for supply planes.
