Flandres Bay (65°2′S 63°20′W / 65.033°S 63.333°W / -65.033; -63.333 (Flandres Bay)) is a large bay lying between Cape Renard and Cape Willems, along the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica.[1]

Location

[edit]
Danco Coast, Antarctic Peninsula. Flandres Bay to the west

Flandres Bay is at the west end of the Danco Coast on the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is southwest of Kershaw Peaks, Bryde Island and Paradise Harbour, northeast of the south end of Forbidden Plateau and the north end of Bruce Plateau, east of Booth Island and the Wauwermans Islands and south of Wiencke Island, which separates Bismarck Strait to the west from Gerlache Strait to the east. The Talbot Glacier and Niepce Glacier feed the bay from the south.[2]

Sailing directions

Icebergs and humpback whales in Flandres Bay

The US Defense Mapping Agency's Sailing Directions for Antarctica (1976) describes Flandres Bay as follows:

Flandres (Flanders) Bay is a large indentation at the south end of Danco Coast; it lies between Cape Willems, the northeastern entrance point, and Cape Renard. the southwestern entrance point. Between these capes, the bay is about 11 miles wide but narrows toward the head of the bay which lies southeastward about 15 miles from the entrance points. Rocks and reefs extend some distance off the shore. Moureaux Islands lie about 3 miles from the head of the bay, and the same distance east of Cape Rahir (Rahir Point), a rocky promontory of diorite, which marks the west entrance of the Inner bay. These islets are low, and snow-covered, and are connected by moraines which at times appear above the sea. Guyou Islands and a 6-fathom depth lie about 4 and 5 1/4 miles, respectively, west-northwestward of Cape Rahir. Swan Rock, 8 feet high, lies in the northeastern entrance of Flandres Bay in a position about 1 3/4 miles south-southwestward of Cape Willems.

Inland from Flandres Bay is a series of fiord valleys which radiate like fingers of a hand, each filled by a large glacier. These glaciers descend from the lofty summits of the dissected interior plateau in an easy gradient, merging into a broad flat base which reaches to the sea where frequent calving occurs.

The head of Flandres Bay is narrowed to a width of about 4 miles by Cape Rahir, a spur projecting northward from the southern shores of the bay. Beyond these narrows the upper bay contains several small bays. Briand Bay (Briand Fjord), the most northern, is about 2 miles long and 1 mile wide. Bayet Point is the extremity of mile-wide peninsula that separates Briand Bay from Pelletan Bay lying to the southward. The latter named bay, open to the westward, is about 2 1/2 miles long and wide, with gray diorite rocks lying close to the northern and southern entrance points. Etienne Bay (Etienne Fjord) indents the coast in the southwestern portion of the upper bay and has an entrance about 1 1/2 miles wide and is about 4 miles long. Another bay, Thomson Bay (Thomson Cove) is about 1 mile long and 1 1/2 miles wide, opens to the eastward, thus indenting the eastern side of the Cape Rahir Peninsula.

The western side of this peninsula trends southward 2 miles, forming the eastern shore of Bt. Lausanne Bay (Lausanne Cove), which Is about 2 miles wide. From the western entrance point of this bay, the southern shore of Flandres Bay trends westward about 1 1/2 miles to Sonia Point, a distinctive rocky projection. From this point the coast trends northwestward, broken by four small bays, to a point which forms the eastern entrance of Hidden Bay. Foul ground extends for a distance of about 1 1/2 miles off this point. This foul area is interspersed with many small islets and, at its outer edge, is about 3 miles long in an east-west direction. The shore then trends south-southwesterly for about 4 miles to the head of a narrow bay (Hidden Bay). Thence it extends in a northerly direction for about 3 miles to Cape Renard. The latter is a conspicuous headland, 2,330 feet high, marked by two steep needles, the slopes of which are too precipitous for snow to cover them. Behind these needle peaks Is an extensive snow cap with hanging glaciers on the slopes which terminate seaward in cliffs of ice.[3]

Exploration and name

[edit]

Flandres Bay was explored in 1898 by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (BelgAE) under Adrien de Gerlache, who named it, probably after the historical area of Flanders, now constituting part of France, Belgium and the Netherlands. .[1]

The name "Islote Solitario" appears for the feature on an Argentine government chart of 1954, but has been rejected to avoid confusion with Solitario Island at 67°52′S 68°26′W / 67.867°S 68.433°W / -67.867; -68.433. . The island was renamed by the UK-APC in 1960, for Mungo Ponton (1802–80), a Scottish inventor who discovered in 1839 that potasium bichromate spread on paper is light sensitive, an important landmark in the development of photography.[42]
