The Rowley Corridor is a 750 m high mountain pass on the Rymill coast of the Palmerland in the southern part of the Antarctic Peninsula . In the Batterbee Mountains it leads from the Ryder Glacier in the north to the Conchie Glacier in the south and separates Mount Ness and Mount Bagshawe from the peaks that rise directly on the shores of George VI Sound.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it after David Noel Rowley (* 1937), lead pilot at the British Antarctic Survey from 1969 to 1974.
