This name originates from Bulgaria. It is part of the Bulgaria Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
The 4.5 km long and 1 km wide passage between Krogh Island on the E and DuBois Island on the W in Biscoe Islands. St. Christopher Island and Bona Mansio Island lie in the eastern part of the passage.
Named after the Bulgarian oceanographer and seaman Doncho Papazov, who undertook several lifeboat and yacht expeditions including a 164-day single-handed non-stop circumnavigation of Antarctica by way of the 'Impossible route' below 40th parallel south and Cape Horn in 1988, and an around-the-world voyage together with his wife Yuliya Gurkovska and their daughter Yana, then 6, in 1979-81.
