The Bismarck Strait ( English Bismarck Strait ) is a strait in the Antarctic north of Graham Land between the Wauwermans Islands of the Wilhelm Archipelago , as well as the Anvers- and Wiencke Island that the Palmer Archipelago belong. In the southeast it extends to Cape Errera , where it meets the Gerlache Strait ; in the southwest there is a connection to the Lemaire Canal via the Butler Passage .

The Bismarck Street was discovered during a research trip in 1873/74 by Captain Eduard Dallmann with the steam sailing ship Groenland and named by him after the founder of the empire Otto von Bismarck .
