位于南极洲罗斯柴尔德岛与亚历山大岛之间的一处新形成水道，已被正式命名为“阿莫斯海峡”，以表彰前英国广播公司（BBC）科学记者乔纳森·阿莫斯在提升公众对南极研究认知方面做出的卓越贡献 1。这一命名由英国南极地名委员会推荐，旨在认可阿莫斯作为科普记者在将南极研究推向公众理解前沿所扮演的“杰出且具有影响力的角色” 1。
该水道的显现源于连接两岛的冰层解体，构成了南极洲的一项新地貌特征 1。拥有38年BBC新闻职业生涯的阿莫斯于2024年离职，他早年曾参与1997年BBC新闻网站的上线工作，并长期负责在线科学版块及电视、广播报道 1。对于这一荣誉，阿莫斯表示深感荣幸，称“这绝对令人难以置信——多么非凡的赞誉。我很感动有一小块南极洲是以我的名字命名的”，并表示这将激励他亲自前往南极考察 1。
A newly formed waterway in Antarctica has been officially designated as the "Amos Channel," honoring Jonathan Amos, the former BBC science correspondent who dedicated 38 years to his career at the network before leaving in 2024. 1 The naming was recommended by the UK Antarctic Place Names Committee in recognition of Amos’s outstanding and influential role in bringing polar research to public understanding. 1 Geographically, this channel lies between Rothschild Island and Alexander Island, having emerged as a distinct feature after the ice connecting these two landmasses disintegrated. 1
Amos’s tenure at the BBC began in 1986, during which he contributed to the launch of the BBC News website in 1997 and consistently managed online science content alongside television and radio reporting. 1 Upon learning of the distinction, Amos expressed deep humility and surprise, stating, "It's absolutely incredible - what an extraordinary accolade. I'm so touched that there's a little bit of Antarctica named after me." 1 He noted that this tribute would serve as inspiration for him to eventually visit the Antarctic region personally. 1
