The Quadrangle (71°35′S 68°36′W) is an ice-covered area (essentially a glacial cirque) enclosed on three sides by rock ridges, but open to the south, lying between Mount Umbriel and Venus Glacier in eastern Alexander Island. Mapped by Directorate of Overseas Surveys from satellite imagery supplied by U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in cooperation with U.S. Geological Survey. The feature was so named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in description of its shape.
