Norway Bight

Norway Bight extends between Meier Point and Mansfield Point to the south of Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

This bay was roughly charted by nineteenth-century sealers. It was charted by Sørlle in 1912-13, and named by him 'Norway Fjord' after his native country: it was recharted by Discovery Investigations in 1933 as 'Norway Bight'. The feature was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1956-58.
