The Robinson Pass ( Bulgarian проход Робинсън prochod Robinsan ) is an 1850 m high and icy mountain saddle in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Ellsworth Mountains it lies between the Sostra Heights in the east and a ridge in the west, which branches off at Mount Dalrymple from the main ridge of the Sentinel Range in an east-northeast direction. It is located 9.15 km east-northeast of Mount Dalrymple, 3.35 km southwest of Mount Malone and 9 km north of Mount Schmid . It is part of the watershed between the Sabazios Glacier in the north and the Embree Glacier in the south.
American scientists mapped it in 1961. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after James Kerguelen Robinson (1859–1914), who was born on March 11, 1859 as the first person south of the Antarctic Convergence .
