Croker Passage

Croker Passage

64°00′S61°42′W / 64.000°S 61.700°W / -64.000; -61.700. A passage lying between Christiania Islands and Two Hummock Island to the east and Hoseason Island and Liège Island to the west, in the Palmer Archipelago. The northern entrance of this passage was very roughly charted and named "Croker Inlet" by Henry Foster in 1829 for John Wilson Croker (1780–1857), Secretary to the Admiralty at that time. The name has since been applied to the whole of this deep water passage, which provides an alternative entrance to the north end of Gerlache Strait.
