'''Teasdale Corrie''' ({{coord|62|9|S|58|11|W|display=inline,title}}) is a cirque about 2,000 ft east-west and 1,500 ft north-south, situated about 1,600 ft north-northeast of [[Cinder Spur]], Antarctica. It is backed on its north flank by the high rocky crags of [[Dunikowski Ridge]]. The cirque, erroneously believed to be a volcanic vent, was exposed by recent glacial retreat. It contains a series of small lakes near the south margin, which are fed by seasonal meltwater. Named for [[Andrew Teasdale]] (b. 1966), [[British Antarctic Survey Field Assistant]] to Dr. [[J.L. Smellie]] for the duration of the January to April 1996 field season. |
