Bone Bay (63°38′S 59°4′W) is a rectangular bay which is nearly 10 nautical miles (18 km) wide at the entrance between Notter Point and Cape Roquemaurel, along the northwest coast of Trinity Peninsula. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted the bay in 1948. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Thomas M. Bone, midshipman on the brig Williams used in exploring the South Shetland Islands and Bransfield Strait in 1820.[1]
