Bothy Bay

Bothy Bay (-62.17192°N, -58.97622°W) is a small bay on the northwest side of Fildes Peninsula, King George Island. The entrance is 0.7 nmi southeast of Square End Island and the bay is backed by a wide beach, with low cliffs on the northeast and southwest sides. The name, applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977, is suggested by a crude stone hut ("bothy"), evidently built by nineteenth-century sealers, on the shore of the bay.
