Names that other countries have for this feature:
A small bay on the NW side of Fildes Peninsula, King George Island. The entrance is 0.7 mi SE of Square End Island and the bay is backed by a wide beach, with low cliffs on the NE and SW sides. The name, applied by UK-APC in 1977, is suggested by a crude stone hut (bothy), evidently built by nineteenth-century sealers, on the shore of the bay.
