Yule Bay ( 70°44′S166°40′E / 70.733°S 166.667°E ) is a bay indenting the coast of northern Victoria Land between Cape Hooker and Cape Dayman. An inner (western) portion of the bay is circumscribed by Bates Point and Ackroyd Point. [1]
Discovered by Captain James Clark Ross, 1841, who named it for Henry B. Yule, Second Master on HMS Erebus.
Yule Bay opens into the Pacific Ocean to the south of Davis Ice Piedmont and Missen Ridge. Chapman Glacier flows into the bay from the west. O'Hara Glacier enters from the south. Ackroyd Point to the south and Bates Point at the end of Missen Ridge define the inner entrance of the bay. Cape Hooker and Cape Dayman define the outer entrance. The Lyall Islands are to the east, across the outer entrance. [3]
