Admiralty Sound

Admiralty Sound is a sound amongst the James Ross Island Group in the British Antarctic Territory. The sound extends in a north-east to south-west direction so as to separate Seymour Island and Snow Hill Island from James Ross Island, all off the north-east end of Graham Land.

The broad north-east part of the sound was named 'Admiralty Inlet' by the expedition under James Clark Ross: Ross discovered the passage on 6 January 1843. The feature was determined to be a sound rather than a bay only in 1902 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskjöld.
