Narrative

El nombre bahía Falsa comenzó a figurar en cartas desde 1822 y su empleo está internacionalmente establecido. Bahía de 3,2 millas de ancho que se abre entre las puntas Barnard y Elefante en el lado S de isla Livingston, en las islas Shetland del Sur. La bahía es de gran profundidad, sus condiciones son desfavorables porque presenta glaciares que desprenden témpanos e invaden los fondeaderos. Sobre la costa SE se forma una extensa playa de guijarros, la cual es abordable únicamente en su parte central, próxima a una punta saliente, donde la costa cambia de dirección.
