Hull Bay (74°55′S 137°40′W) is an ice-filled bay, about 25 nautical miles (46 km; 29 mi) wide, fed by Hull Glacier, which descends into it between Lynch Point and Cape Burks, on the coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica.




Discovery and name


Hull Bay was discovered by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41.
The bay derives its name from Hull Glacier, which was named for Cordell Hull, the United States Secretary of State.




Location




Hull Bay lies on the Southern Ocean coast of Marie Byrd Land, and extends from Frostman Glacier to the west and Cape Burks to the east, at the western end of McDonald Heights.
Hull Glacier flows in a northwest direction into the bay between Lynch Point and Mount Grey in the Erickson Bluffs.
In the northeast of the bay, Garfield Glacier enters the bay between Cox Point, the Erickson Bluffs and Dee Nunatak to the southwest, and the Rhodes Icefall and Peden Cliffs to the northeast.
Perkins Glacier enters the bay to the north of Peden Cliffs.

A glacier, 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) long, flowing between Peden Cliffs and Cox Point to the east side of Hull Bay.
Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65.
Named by US-ACAN for Donald E. Garfield, who participated in deep core drilling activities at Byrd Station, 1967-68.




= Cox Point

=
74°56′S 136°43′W.
A rock point at the southwest side of the terminus of Garfield Glacier where the latter discharges into Hull Bay.
The point was first observed and photographed from aircraft of the US AS, 1939–41, led by Admiral Richard Byrd.
Named by US-ACAN for E.F. Cox, carpenter of ByrdAE, 1933-35.




= Dee Nunatak

=
74°58′S 136°31′W.

Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65.
Named by US-ACAN for Lieutenant Thomas H. Dee, United States Navy, Medical Officer at Byrd Station, 1970.




= Rhodes Icefall
