Gateway Pass

Gateway Pass is a mountain pass about five nautical miles long lying between the mountain Astarte Horn and Offset Ridge in eastern Alexander Island in the British Antarctic Territory.

The pass was mapped by the United States' Directorate of Overseas Surveys from satellite imagery supplied by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey.

It was named 'Gateway' by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the feature serves as a "gateway" giving access to the interior of Alexander Island from the head of Venus Glacier.
