Biscoe Bay

Biscoe Bay is a bay which indents the southwest coast of Anvers Island immediately north of Biscoe Point, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. First charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897-99, under Adrien de Gerlache, and named by him for John Biscoe, who may have landed there in February 1832.
