The Rodman Passage (in Chile Paso Covadonga after the frigate Covandonga built in 1944 ) is a strait between the Renaud and Rabot Islands in the Biscoe Islands archipelago off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula
Participants in the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908–1910) mapped them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them in 1959 after Hugh Rodman of the United States Hydrographic Office , who had published the book Reports of Ice and Ice Movements in the North Atlantic in 1890 .
