Crates Bay is the 8 km wide bay indenting for 6 km the northeast coast of Stresher Peninsula, Graham Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula. It is part of Holtedahl Bay, entered southeast of Starmen Point and northwest of the headland formed by Lens Peak. Conway Island lies in the central part of the bay. Crates Bay was formed as a result of glacier retreat during the last three decades of the 20th century.
Stresher Peninsula is the predominantly ice-covered rectangular peninsula 30 km wide and projecting 24 km northwestwards from Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula. It is bounded by Holtedahl Bay to the northeast, Auvert Bay to the northwest and Darbel Bay to the southwest. Its west extremity Cape Bellue separates Graham Coast to the northeast from Loubet Coast to the southwest. Lawson Peak is a peak 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Cape Evensen.

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.

Conway Island lies in Crates Bay to the west of Lens Peak and facing Bregare Point, off the northeast coast of Stresher Peninsula, Graham Land.
