The Tenterhooks crevasses (for English Spannhaken crevasses ) are a great system of crevasses in the midst of Rennick Glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . They lie between the Morozumi Range of the Usarp Mountains and the Lanterman Range of the Bowers Mountains .
Scientists from a 1963 to 1964 campaign as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition , who managed to cross the southern part of this crevasse system, made the name.
