Description (see definition): Bay indenting the coast for 10 mi between Law Promontory and Fold Island. Mawson of the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) applied the name to a sweep of the coast W of Cape Wilkins which he observed on about Feb. 18, 1931. Exploration by DI personnel on the William Scoresby, 1936, and the Lars Christensen expedition 1936-37, defined this section of the coast more accurately. Named for Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic explorer.
