Jones Channel

Jones Channel (67°30′S 67°0′W) is an ice-filled channel, 8 nautical miles (15 km) long and 1 to 2 nautical miles (2 to 4 km) wide, lying between Blaiklock Island and the south part of Arrowsmith Peninsula and connecting Bourgeois Fjord with the head of Bigourdan Fjord, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was named for Harold D. Jones, a Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) airplane mechanic at Stonington Island, 1947–49, who was a member of the FIDS party which discovered, surveyed, and sledged through this channel in 1949.
