Pampa Passage

Pampa Passage (64°18′S 62°10′W / 64.300°S 62.167°W / -64.300; -62.167Coordinates: 64°18′S 62°10′W / 64.300°S 62.167°W / -64.300; -62.167) is a ship passage along the east side of Brabant Island, trending southwestward between the latter island and off-lying Lecointe Island and Pampa Island. The name "Bahia Pampa" was given by the Argentine Antarctic expedition of 1947-48 after the term passage is considered apt for this feature.
