The Rogatka Strait ( English , Russian Пролив Рогатка Proliw Rogatka , German 'Schleuder-Strait' ) is a strait at least 400 m wide off the Knox coast of the East Antarctic Wilkesland . It runs east of the Edisto Canal between the northeastern branch of Thomas Island and the west bank of the Booth Peninsula in the area of the Bunger Oasis .
Scientists on a Soviet Antarctic expedition named it in 1956. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia translated this name into English in 1992.
