Merton Passage (54°14′S 36°24′W / 54.233°S 36.4°W) is a narrow passage between Right Whale Rocks and a small rock 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) north of Barff Point, at the east side of the entrance to Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. The name Merton, the former name for Right Whale Rocks, was applied to this passage by DI personnel as a result of surveys during the period 1926-30.
