Bellafronto Bight (78°13′S 165°6′E / 78.217°S 165.100°E / -78.217; 165.100) is an ice-filled embayment between the base of the west side of Brown Peninsula and the low northwest foot of Mount Discovery, on Scott Coast, Victoria Land. The bight extends southwest–northeast for 6 nautical miles (11 km) from Hahn Island to Swyers Point. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (1999) after Lieutenant Robert L. Bellafronto, Civil Engineer Corps, U.S. Navy, a public works officer at McMurdo Station in U.S. Navy Operation Deepfreeze 1977 and 1978.[1]
