The Nakano-seto Strait ist ( Japanese 中 の 瀬 戸 Naka-no-seto , German 'central road' ) is a very narrow strait in the Flatvær archipelago off the Prince Harald coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It separates Ongul Island from East Ongul Island .
Scientists from a Japanese Antarctic expedition carried out from 1957 to 1962 mapped it in 1957 and gave it its descriptive name based on the geographical position of the strait within the Flatvær archipelago. The US Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated this designation into English in 1968.
