Dart Moraine (70°54′S 68°0′E / 70.900°S 68.000°E / -70.900; 68.000Coordinates: 70°54′S 68°0′E / 70.900°S 68.000°E / -70.900; 68.000) is an area of brown moraine, extending for 7 nautical miles (13 km) south of Radok Lake and Pagodroma Gorge and west of Flagstone Bench, at the eastern end of the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains. It was photographed by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1956. This moraine was crossed many times in January–February 1969 by J. Dart, radio officer with the ANARE party camped at Radok Lake on his way to the aircraft landing strip used to supply the camp.[1]
