The Stubbs Pass is a 900 m high mountain pass with a north-north-west-south-south-east orientation in Grahamland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It runs through the middle of the Joerg Peninsula on the Bowman Coast .
Aerial photographs were taken during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) and the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The first ascent between 1947 and 1948 was the British geodesist Reginald Leonard Freeman (1913–1988) from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the pass on July 21, 1976 after Guy Miles Stubbs (* 1940), geologist of the British Antarctic Survey on Stonington Island from 1963 to 1965.
