S of Desolation Island, Hero Bay, N Livingston Island, was roughly charted in 1820-21 by Fildes, who originally applied the name of Wood to Blythe Bay (q.v.) (Fildes, 1821b, chart [1]); further charted by DI in 1935 (BA chart 1774, 9.vii.1948); following air photography by FIDASE, 1956-57, so named in order to preserve Fildes' original naming in the area (APC, 1959a, p.12; BA chart 1774, 14.ix.1962).
