What is Durcan Passage?

Durcan Passage is a narrow strait located in the Antarctic region, specifically between the islands of Alexander Island and the Antarctic Peninsula. It is part of the complex network of waterways that characterize the area, often used for navigation by research vessels and expeditions. The passage is named after the British Antarctic Survey's Durcan Glacier, reflecting the region's rich history of exploration and scientific study. Its icy waters and surrounding landscapes are significant for understanding climate change and glaciology.
