Quinault Pass

Quinault Pass is a snow pass trending in a north-south direction lying between the Lully Foothills and the LeMay Range in central portion of Alexander Island in the British Antarctic Territory.

This feature was photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition of 1947-48, and mapped from these photographs by D. Searle of Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960.

The pass was named in association with the nearby Lully Foothills by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), 1977, after the French dramatist Philippe Quinault (1635-1688), who was a contemporary of the composer Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632–1687).
