Sheathbill Bay

Sheathbill Bay (coord|53|59|S|37|26|W|) is a small bay just north of Rosita Harbor (the features being separated by a small cove) along the north coast of South Georgia. So named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because the bay is frequented by sheathbills (Chionis alba).
