The Dogwatch Saddle (English for dog watch saddle ) is a snow-covered mountain saddle in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Prince Albert Mountains it lies between Mount Brøgger and Mount Morrison and separates the catchment area of the Benson Glacier from that of the Cleveland Glacier .
A team from the New Zealand Antarctic Research Program set up camp here during the night in January 1990. The name should remind of this incident.
