Holme Bay

Holme Bay

Holme Bay is a bay in Antarctica, 22 miles wide, containing many islands, indenting the coast 5 miles north of the Framnes Mountains. Holme Bay is located at coord|67|35|S|62|42|E|. Holme Bay was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition in January-February 1937, and so named because of its island-studded character.
