Solari Bay

Location of Nordenskjöld Coast on Antarctic Peninsula.

Solari Bay (Bulgarian: залив Солари, ‘Zaliv Solari’ \'za-liv so-'la-ri\) is the 11.2 km wide bay indenting for 4.5 km Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land north of Balvan Point and south of the east extremity of Richard Knoll. It was formed as a result of the break-up of Larsen Ice Shelf in the area in the late 20th century, and subsequent retreat of Drygalski Glacier. The feature is named after the settlement of Solari in Northern Bulgaria.
