'''Gateway Pass''' ({{coord|71|40|S|68|47|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a mountain pass about {{convert|5|nmi|km|0}} long lying between the mountain [Astarte Horn](/source/Astarte_Horn) and [Offset Ridge](/source/Offset_Ridge) in eastern [Alexander Island](/source/Alexander_Island), [Antarctica](/source/Antarctica). It was mapped by the [Directorate of Overseas Surveys](/source/Directorate_of_Overseas_Surveys) from satellite imagery supplied by the U.S. [National Aeronautics and Space Administration](/source/National_Aeronautics_and_Space_Administration) in cooperation with the [U.S. Geological Survey](/source/U.S._Geological_Survey), and was so named by the [UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee](/source/UK_Antarctic_Place-Names_Committee) because the feature serves as a "gateway" giving access to the interior of Alexander Island from the head of [Venus Glacier](/source/Venus_Glacier).<ref name=gnis/>
