| Notes |
Belgica information (en): Cove 1 mi long, lying just E of Cangrejo Cove in the SW part of Flandres Bay, on the W coast of Graham Land. Discovered by the BelgAE under Gerlache (1897-99) and named "Baie d'Azur" because when the Belgica anchored near here, everything appeared to be colored blue in the evening light (http://www.geoscience.scar.org/meetings/shanghai/cga_letter_a.pdf / http://geonames.usgs.gov). |

Belgica information (es): Situada al sur de bahía Flandes, costa W de la península Antártica. Denominada bahía "D'Azur" por la Expedición Antártica Belga al mando de A. de Gerlache (1897- 1899). El segundo comandante de la expedición dejó el relato escrito donde dice "Análoga a las grutas suizas de este nombre, tiñe de azul todo lo que hay allí: el cielo, el mar, los hielos, la nave, nosotros mismos, todo era azul". SHN carta H-7 (http://www.geoscience.scar.org/meetings/shanghai/cga_letter_a.pdf) |

Belgica information (en): Cove 2 km long, lying just East of Cangrejo Cove in the south-west part of Flanders Bay, on the west coast of Graham Land. Discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Adrien de Gerlache (1897-1899) and named “Baie d’Azur” because when the Belgica anchored near here, everything appeared to be coloured blue in the evening light |
|
Belgica information (fr): Crique de 2 km de long, située directement à l’E de la crique Cangrejo dans la partie S-O de la baie des Flandres, sur la côte O de la Terre de Graham. Découverte par l’expédition belge en Antarctique de 1897-1899 sous le commandement d’Adrien de Gerlache et baptisée « baie d’Azur » car le Belgica était ancré à proximité et toute chose prenait des reflets azurés à la lumière du soir. |
|
Belgica information (nl): Deze 2 km lange kreek ligt net ten oosten van Cangrejo Baai in het zuidwestelijke deel van de Vlaanderen Baai, op de westkust van Graham Land. De Belgische Antarctica expeditie (1897-1899) onder leiding van Adrien de Gerlache ontdekte de baai en noemde hem ‘Azuur Baai’, omdat alles er in het avondlucht blauw leek toen de Belgica er in de buurt voor anker ging. |
