Trepassey Bay (Antarctica)

Trepassey Bay (Spanish: Bahía Corrientes) is a bay that is 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) wide, located on the northeast side of the Tabarin Peninsula, 5.6 kilometres (3.5 mi) south-southeast of the Hope Bay, in the extreme northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula.[1][2] It was first surveyed by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and by E. Burden, Master of the Trepassey, from that vessel in 1947. The FIDS resurveyed the bay in 1955.[1]

The bay was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for the vessel which was used for the relief of the station at Hope Bay in 1946-47 seasons and for a survey of Antarctic Sound during the second season.[1]
