Description (see definition): Bay lying between Charlotte and Wilhelmina Bays, along the W coast of Graham Land. The bay was first roughly indicated by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (BelgAE) under Gerlache, 1897-99. It was remapped by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from air photos taken by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE), 1955-57. Named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Anthony D. Bancroft, senior surveyor of the latter expedition.
