Queen Maud Bay is a V-shaped bay 2.5 miles wide at the entrance, lying immediately north of Nunez Peninsula along the south coast of South Georgia.
It was toughly charted in 1819 by a Russian expedition under Bellingshausen, it was named prior to 1922 for Queen Maud, wife of King Haakon VII of Norway, probably by Norwegian whalers who frequented this coast. King Haakon has a bay to his name too; King Haakon Bay on the south coast.
