Description (see definition): Bay, 15 mi wide at its mouth and indenting 10 mi, entered between Bertrand Ice Piedmont and Cape Berteaux along the W coast of Graham Land. First seen from a distance in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE) under Charcot, but not recognized as a large bay. First surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, and resurveyed by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948-49. The name was proposed by members of British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) for Ejnar Mikkelsen, Danish Arctic explorer and Inspector for East Greenland, 1934-50.
