Sheathbill Bay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sheathbill Bay (53°59′S, 37°26′W) is a small bay just north of Rosita Harbor (the features being separated by a small cove) along the north coast of South Georgia. So named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because the bay is frequented by sheathbills (Chionis alba).
