The Tractor Corner (English for tractor corner ) is a headland in East Antarctica Victoria Land . In the Asgard Range , 2.5 km northeast of the Repeater Glacier, it represents the foothills of a rock spur that extends from Mount Newall to near the mouth of the Lower Wright Glacier in the Wilson Piedmont Glacier .
The New Zealand Geographic Board named it in 1998 because in 1967 a number of tractors had passed this formation while driving over the Lower Wright Glacier to the Wright Valley .
