Names that other countries have for this feature:
A strait on the McMurdo Ice Shelf that trends N-S between Brown Peninsula, Mount Discovery, and Minna Bluff on the W, and Black Island on the east. The surface of the strait, especially the N part between Brown Peninsula and Black Island, is noteworthy for the presence of broad moraine belts that obscure much of the ice and suggest the name. The strait was discovered by the BrNAE, 1901-04, led by Scott. Named by US-ACAN in 1999.
