Börgen Bay

Börgen Bay (64°45′S 63°30′W / 64.750°S 63.500°W / -64.750; -63.500) is a bay 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, indenting the southeast coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica.

[2][3] Billie Peak stands 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) east-northeast of Bay Point.

[1][2][3] The bay was named by the expedition's leader, Adrien de Gerlache, for Karl Börgen, the German astronomer.

It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for John Canty of FIDS, radio operator/mechanic at the Arthur Harbour station in 1955 and a member of the sledging party which visited the point.
