Maurice Channel

Maurice Channel (59°26′S 27°5′W / 59.433°S 27.083°W / -59.433; -27.083) is a strait 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) wide between Bellingshausen and Cook Islands, in the South Sandwich Islands. In 1820, Bellingshausen indirectly indicated the existence of the strait by describing Southern Thule as consisting of one high rock and three small islands. It was charted in 1930 by DI personnel on the Discovery Committee.
