Names that other countries have for this feature:
A strait on the McMurdo Ice Shelf that trends north-south between Brown Peninsula, Mount Discovery, and Minna Bluff on the west, and Black Island on the east. The surface of the strait, especially the north part between Brown Peninsula and Black Island, is noteworthy for the presence of broad moraine belts that obscure much of the ice.
The strait was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (Discovery expedition, BrNAE), 1901-04, led by Scott. Named by United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1999.
