Rodman Passage (65°52′S 66°0′W) is a passage between the south end of Renaud Island and Rabot Island, in the Biscoe Islands. Charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1908-10. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 for Hugh Rodman of the U.S. Hydrographic Office, author in 1890 of Reports of Ice and Ice Movements in the North Atlantic, a pioneer work on the subject.
