Narrative

Fue explorada por la Expedición Antártica Belga de 1897-1899, al mando del teniente Adrien de Gerlache, aunque en esa ocasión no recibió nombre. Fue cartografiada por la Expedición Antártica Francesa de 1903-1905, al mando de Charcot, quien le puso el nombre por el apellido de A. Briand, en ese entonces ministro de Educación de Francia. Esta bahía de una milla de ancho por dos de saco, es la de más al N de las bahías que se abren sobre la costa oriental de la bahía Flandres, costa occidental de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
