Rymill Bay

Rymill Bay

Rymill Bay is a bay in Antarctica. It is nine miles wide at its mouth and indents five miles between Red Rock Ridge and Bertrand Ice Piedmont along the west coast of Graham Land. Rymill Bay is located at coord|68|24|S|67|05|W|. Rymill Bay was probably first seen from a distance by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot in 1909. The bay was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), and was resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The name, proposed by members of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), is for John Riddoch Rymill, Australian leader of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1934-1937.
