Rum Pond (76°54′S 161°7′E) is the larger and eastern of two closely spaced frozen ponds in the floor of Alatna Valley, Convoy Range, in Victoria Land. The name is one of a group in Convoy Range reflecting a nautical theme. Named after this traditional naval beverage by a 1989-90 New Zealand Antarctic Research Program (NZARP) field party.
