Cascade Inlet Cascade Inlet is a fjord in the North Coast region of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It extends northwest from Dean Channel. It was first charted in 1793 by George Vancouver and during their 1791-95 expedition. Vancouver named it “Cascade Channel” due to the great number of waterfalls he saw along its sides when he first explored the inlet.
Matha Strait Matha Strait is a strait lying between Adelaide Island and the south end of the Biscoe Islands. The strait takes its name from "Matha Bay", the name originally applied by Jean-Baptiste Charcot, leader of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, to the water feature as he conceived it. The British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, 1934–37, recognizing that it is really a strait rather than a bay, changed the name to Matha Strait. The name is for Lieutenant A. Matha, second-in-command of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, also under Charcot.
