Danger Slopes (77°49′S 166°41′E) is an ice slope just south of Knob Point on the west side of Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island. The initial slope is very steep and it terminates west in a sheer drop to Erebus Bay. It was so named by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, because Seaman George T. Vince of the expedition lost his life here in a blizzard when he slipped and fell into the sea.
