This name originates from United States of America. It is part of the United States Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
The narrow body of water between Bailey Peninsula and Shirley Island in the Windmill Islands. First mapped from air photos taken by USN Operation HighJump and Operation Windmill in 1947 and 1948. Named by the US-ACAN. The relatively shallow soundings in the channel restrict its use to smaller craft, suggesting the name.
