Pagodroma Gorge is a steep-sided gorge 3 mi long which joins Radok and Beaver Lakes, in the Prince Charles Mountains. Photographed from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft in 1956. The gorge was traveled by A. Medvecky, Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) geologist in January–February, 1969. Named by ANCA after the snow petrels (Pagodroma nivea) which nest in the weathered sandstone walls of the gorge.
