Narrative

part of the Terra Firma Islands (q.v.), Marguerite Bay, rising to c. 25m above sea level, was surveyed by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in 1948 and so named because of a low ledge on one side of the rock, providing a lodgement clear of sea-ice pressure for a depot for FIDS sledge parties in 1948-49 (APC, 1955, p.14; DOS 610 sheet W 68 66, 1963).
