Location of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands.
Brunow Bay from Catalunyan Saddle, Tangra Mountains, with Bransfield Strait and Antarctic Peninsula in the background.
Brunow Bay is a 2.33 km wide bay indenting for 1.5 km the southeast side of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The bay is entered between Samuel Point and Vazov Point, and has its northwestern coast formed by the terminus of Macy Glacier.
The feature is named by the UK-APC in 1958 for Benjamin J. Brunow, Master of the schooner Henry, one of James Byers’ fleet of American sealers from New York which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21, operating from Yankee Harbor in nearby Greenwich Island.
