The name South Bay was given to this feature by the Scottish geologist David Ferguson during his visit to South Georgia in 1911-12. Since the same name is well established for an arm of Prince Olav Harbor 18 mi away, the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) recommended in 1957 that a new name be substituted for the feature now described. Miles Bay is after the catcher Don Miles, built in 1926, which was owned by the Compania Argentina de Pesca in 1934. Date Created (see definition): No data Date Edited (see definition): No data
