Blythe Bay

Blythe Bay (62°28′S 60°20′W / 62.467°S 60.333°W / -62.467; -60.333) is an anchorage at the southeast side of Desolation Island, lying north of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

The feature was known to American and British sealers as Blythe Bay as early as 1821.

This error has now been rectified and the name Blythe Bay is approved as originally used.

The name is probably after Blythe (now Blyth), England, home of William Smith who reported the discovery of the South Shetland Islands in 1819.
