Allen Bay (54°11′S 36°32′W / 54.183°S 36.533°W / -54.183; -36.533) is a semi-circular bay 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) wide, lying 1 nautical mile (2 km) west-northwest of Larsen Point in the northern part of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. It was charted in 1926 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery, and was named by them, probably for H.T. Allen, a member of the Discovery Committee at that time.[1][2]
