The Slot (English for Der Schlitz ) is a small and fast flowing glacier in the Australian Antarctic Territory . In the Geologists Range it flows from the polar plateau between Mount Ronca and Mount Summerson .
The northern group of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–1962) sighted him for the first time and gave him his descriptive name, based in particular on the numerous crevasses .
