The Pendleton Strait is a strait between Rabot and Lavoisier Islands in the Biscoe Islands archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It connects the open Southern Ocean with the Mudge Passage north of Extension Reef , and south of the reef the same with the northern end of Crystal Sound .

The French polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot identified it as a bay in January 1909 during the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908-1910). The Australian polar explorer John Rymill was able to clear up their actual nature on the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937). It is named after the American navigator Benjamin Pendleton (1797 - unknown), who explored this region together with his compatriot Nathaniel Palmer in 1821.
