Description
(see definition):
Bay 2 mi wide, indenting the S coast of King George Island immediately NE of Martins Head, in the South Shetland Islands. In 1908-10, the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE) under Charcot applied the name "Cap Legru" to a feature which has now been identified as Martins Head. As the latter has priority, Charcot's name has been transferred to the feature now described in order to retain it in the area in which it was originally given.
