Scuttle Valley
Scuttle Valley (76°38′S 161°9′E ) is a small deglaciated valley with meltwater lakes that lies parallel to and just south of Towle Glacier in the Convoy Range, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The valley comprises the lower elevations at the northeast end of Elkhorn Ridge and is separated from Towle Glacier by a dolerite ridge upon which the flank of Towle Glacier rests 80 m (260 ft) above the valley floor. The feature was visited by Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE), 1976–77, led by Christopher J. Burgess. The name derives from the discovery of a parachute and abandoned airdrop packaging in the vicinity.

Coal scuttle bonnet
A coal scuttle bonnet (sometimes referred to as a coal-scuttle bonnet or sugar scoop bonnet) is a design of bonnet with stiffened brim and a flat back (crown). The name originates from its similarity to the shape of a traditional coal storer. It may be very similar in design to the poke bonnet – some sources use the terms interchangeably – however the poke shape had a wide and rounded front brim that extended beyond the face, according to fashion historian Mary Brooks Picken, while the Metropolitan Museum of Art notes that the poke generally shielded the face and had a wide brim that provided a large surface for decoration.
