Stange Sound (73°10′S 76°40′W / 73.167°S 76.667°W / -73.167; -76.667 (Stange Sound)) is a sound about 60 nautical miles (110 km; 69 mi) long and 25 nautical miles (46 km; 29 mi) wide along the coast of Ellsworth Land, Antarctica. An ice shelf occupies the sound, which is bounded on the west by Smyley Island and Case Island, on the south by the mainland, on the east by Spaatz Island and on the north by open water in the Ronne Entrance. Photographed from the air and roughly plotted by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE. 1947-48) under Finn Ronne. Named for Henry Stange of New York, a contributor to RARE who gave much time to assisting in preparations for the expedition.^[1]
