COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

running NW-SE between Extension Reef to NE and Lavoisier Island to SW, Biscoe Islands (q.v.). There is no contemporary evidence for the later supposition that Palmer in the sloop Hero sighted this feature in January 1821. The feature was first sighted and roughly charted by Biscoe in February 1832 but, in association with Palmer's alleged discovery, called Pendleton Bay after Capt. Benjamin Pendleton, who was Commodore of the sealing fleet from Stonington, Conn., which included Hero (Balch, 1902, end map; Charcot, 1911a, map facing p.348); further charted by FAE, 1908-10, on 13 January 1909. Baie Pendleton (Charcot, 1912, Pl.1). Pendleton B. (HA chart, 1927). Pendletonbukten (Aagaard, 1930, end map). The feature was later recognized as a strait, presumably from the work of FAE, 1908-10. Pendleton Strait (BA chart 3175, 1934; 1.iii.1940; APC, 1955, p.17; DCS 601 sheet 66 66, 1955; BA chart 3570, 29.ix.1961). The strait was further charted by BGLE in February 1936. Détroit de Pendleton (France. SHM, 1937, p.408). Burdick Channel, so called after Stanton L. Burdick, one of the crew in Hero, 1820-21 (Martin, 1940, p.539 and map p.542). Burdick Channel (Pendleton Strait) (USHO, 1943, p.137). Estrecho de Pendleton (Rymill and others, 1943, map facing p.96). Canal Burdick (Chile. DNH chart LII, 1947). Estrecho Burdick (Chile. IGM map, 1947). Estrecho Pendleton (Chile. DNH chart LII, 1947; Pierrou, 1970, p.583; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.223). Pendleton Baie, as rejected form (USBGN, 1947, p.212).

A strait between Rabot and Lavoisier Islands, in the Biscoe Islands. The FrAE, in accordance with Charcot's conception of this water feature, applied the name Pendleton Bay in January 1909. The BGLE under Rymill, 1934-37, recognizing that it is really a strait, renamed it Pendleton Strait. Named by Charcot for Capt. Benjamin Pendleton, Yankee sealer of Stonington, CT. Captain Pendleton was commodore of the little fleet which included the sloop Hero under Capt. Nathaniel B. Palmer who, at Pendleton's direction, explored this area in January 1821.

La Expedición Antártica Francesa de 1908-1910, al mando del Dr. Jean B. Charcot, de acuer do con su concepción de la morfología de esta zona, aplicó el nombre bahía Pendleton en enero de 1909. La Expedición Antártica Británica de 1934-1937, al mando de John Rymill, reconociéndolo como un estrecho, lo llamó por el capitán Benjamín Pendleton, comodoro de la Flota Ballenera de Stonington, Connecticut, que incluía a la balandra "Hero", al mando de Nathaniel B. Palmer quien, bajo la dirección de Pendleton, exploró esta área en enero de 1821. En algunas cartas chilenas de 1947 figuró como canal Burdick. Estrecho situado entre la isla Renaud y la isla Serrano, limitado por el N por el arrecife Espinoza y por el S por los roqueríos e islotes que despide el cabo Leblond, con un ancho navegable de 7 millas.
