Bulkington Pass
Bulkington Pass () is a pass on the south side of Flask Glacier and west of Bildad Peak in Voden Heights on the east side of Graham Land. The pass trends northeast–southwest for and provides a route from the ice piedmont north of Adit Nunatak to Flask Glacier. The toponym is one in a group applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee that reflects a whaling theme, Bulkington being a crewman on the vessel "Pequod" in Herman Melville's Moby Dick.
