Description
(see definition):
Small bay forming the NE extremity and head of Bourgeois Fjord and marking the junction of Fallieres Coast and Loubet Coast, along the W coast of Graham Land. First surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. So named by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), following a 1949 survey, because the bay proved a blind alley to sledging parties.
