This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer.
The bay on the western side of the Isthmus. Named by Captain JK Davis after the Master of the brig Perseverance who discovered the Island. In contemporary records eight variant spellings of the name appear. Hasselburgh himself pronounced his name "borough" and favoured but did not consistently use the spelling "Hasselburgh". Since Hasselburgh and his contemporaries were so indifferent to the spelling and since the form "Hasselborough" achieves the correct pronounciation it is proposed that the form should continue to be used.
Named after the Master of the brig Perseverance who discovered the Island.
