Description
(see definition):
A wide, open bay on the coast between Horn Bluff and Cape Freshfield. The bay was roughly delineated by the Far Eastern Party of Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) (1911-14) under Sir Douglas Mawson, who named it for Sir Alfred Deakin, Prime Minister of Australia in 1910. In certain historical accounts and charts this feature has been correlated with "Peacocks Bay" of the U.S. Exploring Expedition (1838-42) under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, U.S. Navy (USN).
