Wardle Entrance

The Wardle Entrance is a sea passage amongst the Pitt Islands, part of the Biscoe Islands group in the British Antarctic Territory. This channels runs north-west to south-east between Snodgrass Island and Weller Island.

The channel was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956: it was named in association with other names amongst the Pitt Islands, from character in the Pickwick Papers. It is named after Mr Wardle, the Pickwickians' host at Dingley Dell.
