Iceberg Bay lies between Cape Hansen and Olivine Point on the south coast of Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.
The bay was roughly charted by Weddell in January 1823 and named descriptively 'Ice Berg Bay'. The bay was recharted by Discovery Investigations in 1933. It was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1956-58.
The bay is the site of a British Antarctic Survey refuge hut, established in 1962.
