A small glacier between Mount Augusta and Mount Holloway in the S part of Queen Alexandra Range draining eastward into Beardmore Glacier at Lizard Point. Evidently named by the Southern Polar Party of the British Antarctic Expedition (BrAE) (1910-13) because of its appearance. The term "Bay" is obviously a misnomer, but it has been retained because of uniform usage for over fifty years.
