1. Newly formed Antarctic strait named after former BBC science correspondent Jonathan Amos

   A stretch of water between Rothschild Island and Alexander Island in western Antarctica has been named Amos Strait in honour of former BBC science correspondent Jonathan Amos, the BBC reported. The naming committee said that in his 38-year career at BBC News he played an 'outstanding and influential role' in helping the public understand Antarctic research. The strait is a new feature, formed after an ice mass that connected the two islands broke up.
