Boom Basin (78°14′S 162°48′E / 78.233°S 162.800°E / -78.233; 162.800) is a small basin on the north side of Radian Ridge, immediately west of the confluence of Pipecleaner Glacier and Radian Glacier, Royal Society Range. A loud explosive boom was heard by members of a New Zealand Geological Survey field party working in the area on 3 December 1977. They suggested the name. The source of the noise remained a mystery.
