Lewis Sound (66°20′S 67°0′W / 66.333°S 67.000°W) is a body of water running northwest–southeast between Lavoisier Island and Krogh Island to the northeast and Watkins Island to the southwest, in the Biscoe Islands of Antarctica. It was mapped from aerial photographs taken by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition, 1956–57. In association with the names of pioneers in cold climate physiology grouped in this area, it was named "Lewis Passage" by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (1960) after Sir Thomas Lewis, an English physiologist who investigated the responses of the blood vessels of the skin to environmental temperature. The feature was later renamed as Lewis Sound as it does not provide safe passage for a ship.

  • Der Lewis Sound (in Chile Canal Arenales, in Chile Canal Oliver) ist eine Meerenge (Sund) im Archipel der Biscoe-Inseln vor der Westküste der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Sie verläuft in nordwest-südöstlicher Richtung zwischen der Lavoisier-Insel und Krogh Island im Nordosten sowie der Watkins-Insel im Südwesten. Sie verbindet das offene Südpolarmeer mit dem Crystal Sound. Luftaufnahmen dieses Seewegs entstanden bei der Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–1957). Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte sie 1960, zunächst als Lewis Passage, nach dem britischen Kardiologen Thomas Lewis (1881–1945), der die Temperatureinwirkung auf die Blutgefäße der Haut untersucht hatte. Namensgeber der argentinischen Benennung ist (1770–1831), ein General der Südamerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriege. Chilenische Wissenschaftler benannten die Meerenge dagegen nach (1899–1949), Geologe bei der 1. Chilenischen Antarktisexpedition (1946–1947) und Leiter des Naturhistorischen Museums in Concepción.
