Moraine Strait (78°12′S 165°48′E / 78.200°S 165.800°E) is a strait on the McMurdo Ice Shelf of Antarctica that trends north–south between Brown Peninsula, Mount Discovery, and Minna Bluff on the west, and Black Island on the east. The surface of the strait, especially the northern part between Brown Peninsula and Black Island, is noteworthy for the presence of broad moraine belts that obscure much of the ice and suggest the name. The strait was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, led by Robert Falcon Scott, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1999.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Moraine Strait (englisch für Moränenstraße) ist eine nordsüdlich verlaufende und durch das McMurdo-Schelfeis eingenommene Meerenge vor der Scott-Küste des ostantarktischen Viktorialands. Sie trennt die östlich liegende Insel Black Island im Ross-Archipel von der Brown-Halbinsel, Mount Discovery und vom Minna Bluff im Westen. Teilnehmer der Discovery-Expedition (1901–1904) unter der Leitung des britischen Polarforschers Robert Falcon Scott entdeckten sie. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte sie 1999. Namensgebend sind die breiten Moränengürtel, die auf dem Eis in der Meerenge verlaufen. (de)
