Huon Bay (Antarctica)

Huon Bay (

63°23′S 58°00′W / 63.383°S 58.000°W / -63.383; -58.000Coordinates: 63°23′S 58°00′W / 63.383°S 58.000°W / -63.383; -58.000) is the ca. 8 mi wide bay between Cape Ducorps and Cape Legoupil, along the north coast of Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica. Its head is fed by Ogoya Glacier.

A French expedition under Capt. Jules Dumont d'Urville, 1837–40, originally gave the name Huon to a cape in this area after Felix Huon de Kermadec, a member of the expedition. A survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1946 did not identify the cape but applied the name to this bay which lies in the same area.
