Hell Gates

Hell Gates

Hell Gates (coord|62|40|S|61|11|W|) is a narrow boat passage between the rocks off Devils Point, the southwest end of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name dates back to about 1821 and was applied by early sealers in the area because many lives and ships were lost here.
