False Bay, Livingston Island

False Bay, Livingston Island

False Bay (coord|62|43|S|60|22|W|) is a 4 mi long bay, which lies between Barnard Point and Miers Bluff on the south side of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Probably first entered and charted by Capt. Nathaniel Palmer in November 1820; so named because of the possibility in thick weather of confusion between this feature and nearby South Bay, where Johnsons Dock was frequented by the early sealers.
