South Bay is a 1.7 km wide bay indenting for 2.8 km betweenCape Kemp andPy Point on the south-west coast ofDoumer Island in thePalmer Archipelago ofAntarctica. It was charted by theBritish Graham Land Expedition in February 1935 and so named from its position on the island.[1] The summer onlyYelcho research station, administered by theChilean Antarctic Institute, stands on the shore of the bay.[2] The eastern part of the bay is designated asAntarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA No.146) (Site of Special Scientific Interest No.28) to shield it from accidental interference because it is the subject of a long-termmarine ecology research program.[3]
