It rises 15.5 km southeast of Havilland Point on the northwest side of the Detroit Plateau . To the south it borders the Zabernovo Bastion , extends north to Matov Peak and ends in Hargrave Hill . Some of the tributaries of the Wright Piedmont Glacier are to the southwest, the Temple Glacier to the north and east of it.
