Notes |
Belgica information (en): Bay lying between Charlotte and Wilhelmina Bays, along the W coast of Graham Land. The bay was first roughly indicated by the BelgAE under Gerlache, 1897-99. It was remapped by the FIDS from air photos taken by the FIDASE, 1955-57. Named by the UK-APC in 1960 for Anthony D. Bancroft, senior surveyor of the latter expedition. http://geonames.usgs.gov |
