Carlsson Bay (64°24′S 58°4′W / 64.400°S 58.067°W / -64.400; -58.067) is a square bay, 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) in extent, entered 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of Cape Foster on the southwest side of James Ross Island. It was first seen and surveyed in 1903 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, who named it for J. Carlsson of Sweden who contributed toward the cost of the expedition.
