COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

Fue cartografiada en 1947 por el FIDS quien le llamó así debido a que la naturaleza inquieta del hielo en la vecindad causa considerables dificultades a los destacamentos en trineos. Ensenada cubierta de hielo de unas 18 millas de largo en una dirección E-W y de unas 16 millas de ancho en su entrada. Está situada entre la punta Foyn y el cabo Disappointment, en la costa E de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.

between Foyn Point and Cape Disappointment (q.v.), Oscar II Coast, was roughly surveyed by SwAE in October 1902; called Sandefiordsbukten, as the E entrance of Wilkins' supposed Crane Channel (Crane Glacier, q.v.) (Aagaard, 1930, end map); resurveyed by FIDS from "Hope Bay" in 1947 and 1949, and so named, in association with the cape, because the disturbed nature of the ice shelf in the area caused difficulties for sledge parties (BA chart 3570, 27.vi.1952; APC, 1955, p.9; BA chart 3570, 27.ix.1957). Ensenada Desesperación [=desperation inlet] (Argentina. MM, 1953, p.325). Bahía Exasperación (Argentina. MM chart 121, 1954). Ensenada Exasperación (Argentina.

Ledyanoy Zaliv Egsaspereyshen (Soviet Union. AA, 1966, Pl. 24). Seno Exasperación, as rejected form (Chile. IHA, 1974, p.120).

Large ice-filled inlet, 16 mi wide at its entrance between Foyn Point and Cape Disappointment, on the E coast of Graham Land. Charted in 1947 by the FIDS, who so named it because the disturbed nature of the ice in the vicinity caused considerable difficulty to sledging parties.
