El nombre aparece en una carta de la Expedición Francesa del Dr. Jean B. Charcot, de 1908-1910 y recuerda el "Teléfono", un buque que en 1909 se encontraba fondeado en esta bahía en espera de reparaciones. Recibe este nombre la bahía que se forma en el rincón NW de bahía Foster de la isla Decepción de las islas Shetland del Sur. Mide 11 cables de ancho en su entrada por 5 de saco y está limitada por el S por punta Chacao. La bahía es de fondo irregular y de mucha profundidad, por lo que es difícil encontrar un fondeadero en ella; está protegida de los vientos del 3er y 4º cuadrantes, pero es abierta a los del NE y E que soplan con violencia y levantan mucha marejada. |
