The rod-Sund is a 40 km wide, 100 km long and through the rod Ice Shelf occupied bay on the English coast of the West Antarctic Ellsworthlands . The sound is bounded to the west by the Smyley and Case Islands , to the south by the mainland coast, to the east by Spaatz Island and to the north by the open waters of the Ronne Entrance .
It was photographed from the air and roughly mapped during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) under the direction of the US polar explorer Finn Ronne . He named him after Henry Stange, a supporter of the research trip.
