Paso Lautaro is a strait in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It separates Fort William at the western end of Robert Island from the upstream Passage Rock in the group of the Aitcho Islands and extends from Chaos Reef in the north to Roca Remolino in the south.
Chilean scientists named it after the Lautaro , a ship used by numerous Chilean expeditions to the Antarctic from 1948 onwards.
