Description
(see definition):
Small bay 5 mi SSW of Cape Charlotte, with Bertrab Glacier at its head, along the E end of South Georgia. During the early 1900's the feature was variously called Anna's Bay, Gold-Hafen, or Sandwich Bay; the latter name has also been used for Iris Bay (q.v.). The approved name appears to have taken root through common usage by sealers and whalers and is now well established.
