Feature type: Water body
This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer.
The volcanic activity in 2000 extinguished the tarns named after Professor Budd so the decision was made at the 2006 AANMC meeting to name a new bay formed by the volcanic activity Budd Bay. The bay is just to the south east of where the tarns used to be. It is the bay to the north of Williams Bay. The original narrative for the extinguished tarns was: A group of five small freshwater lakes in the central part of McDonald Island. Although brackish, these tarns are an available source of water on the Island.
Named after Professor Grahame M Budd, (then) Commonwealth Institute of Health, who briefly landed on the Island in 1971 from a helicopter, and who published the first scientific reports from observations on the Island.
