SW of Lagrange Peak, SE Brabant Ialand, was roughly charted by BAE, 1920-22, and so named after the town Larvik, S Norway, following the usage of whalers (Lester's amendments to Johannessen, chart, [1919-20]; APC, 1986, p3). Larvick [sic] Harbour (Bagshawe, 1939, p.176). The feature was further charted by AAE, 1949-50, from the tugboat Chiriguano (Chiriguano Bay, q.v.) and called Bahía Denise after the Brazilian fiancée of a ship's officer (Argentina. MM chart 106, 1949; Pierrou, 1970, p.307); photographed from the air by FIDASE, 1956-57. Bigo Bay (q.v.), in error (USHO, 1960, p.368, third view).
