Swan Rock, 8 feet high, lies in the northeastern entrance of Flandres Bay in a position about 1 3/4 miles south-southwestward of Cape Willems.

These glaciers descend from the lofty summits of the dissected interior plateau in an easy gradient, merging into a broad flat base which reaches to the sea where frequent calving occurs.

The latter named bay, open to the westward, is about 2 1/2 miles long and wide, with gray diorite rocks lying close to the northern and southern entrance points.

Behind these needle peaks Is an extensive snow cap with hanging glaciers on the slopes which terminate seaward in cliffs of ice.

[3]Flandres Bay was explored in 1898 by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (BelgAE) under Adrien de Gerlache, who named it, probably after the historical area of Flanders, now constituting part of France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Hermann Wilhelm Vogel (1834-98), German chemist who introduced the first orthochromatic emulsion for photographic plates in 1903.

Named by the UK-APC in 1960 for Henry Fox Talbot (1800-77), English inventor of the first practical photographic process on paper, perfected and called calotype in 1839-41.

Named by the UK-APC in 1960 for Nicéphore Niépce (1765-1833), French physicist, the first man to produce a permanent photographic record, 1816-29, who, with Louis Daguerre, invented the daguerreotype process of photography perfected in 1839.

Named by the UK-APC in I960 for Louis Daguerre (1787-1851), French painter and physicist who, with Nicéphore Niépce, invented the daguerreotype process of photography perfected in 1839.

A conspicuous peak, 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) high, overlooking the south shore of Briand Fjord in Flandres Bay.

A long, narrow point projecting into the head of Flandres Bay 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) south of Briand Fjord.

Charted by the FrAE (1903-05) under Charcot, who applied the name "Baie Pelletan" to the indentations north and south of the point here described.

A mountain overlooking the head of Flandres Bay, 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) south of Pelletan Point.

Charted by the FrAE, 1903-05, and named by Charcot for Eugène Étienne (1844-1921), French politician, Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies, 1902-04, and Minister of War, 1905-06.

A peak 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) south-southwest of Rahir Point, standing close south of Thomson Cove, Flandres Bay.

A cove 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) wide, lying just north of Etienne Fjord in Flandres Bay.

A point marking the northeast end of a small peninsula which extends into Flandres Bay just north of Thomson Cove.

A peak, 1,060 metres (3,480 ft) high, rising 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) south of Sonia Point and Flandres Bay.

Named by the UK-APC in 1960 for Joseph Bancroft Reade (1801-70), English pioneer of photography, who obtained photographs on paper coated with silver nitrate, developed with gallic acid and fixed with hyposulphate of soda, in 1837.

A peak rising to 960 metres (3,150 ft) high, 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) east of the head of Azure Cove, Flandres Bay.

Discovered by the BelgAE under Gerlache (1897-99) and named "Baie d'Azur" because when the Belgica anchored near here, everything appeared to be colored blue in the evening light.

The name is descriptive and derives from the small peninsula forming the west side of the cove which, when viewed from the air, resembles the pincers of a crayfish.

A point lying 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) southeast of Cape Renard on the south side of Flandres Bay.

Discovered in 1898 by the BelgAE under Gerlache and named by him for Professor Alphonse Renard, a member of the Belgica Commission and of the Belgian Royal Academy.

A group of islands extending northwest from Aguda Point for 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) across the entrance to Hidden Bay.

Named by the UK-APC in 1960 for Sir Joseph Swan (1828-1914), English manufacturer who invented the carbon process for photographic printing in 1866 and pioneered gelatin dry plates for instantaneous photography, 1879-81.

A small group of islands lying 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) northeast of Sonia Point in Flandres Bay.

First charted by the BelgAE under Gerlache (1897-99), and named for Émile Guyou (1843–1915), French mathematician who prepared a report on the magnetic results of the expedition.

Two islands and off-lying rocks lying 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km; 2.9 mi) west-northwest of Pelletan Point in Flandres Bay.

The island was renamed by the UK-APC in 1960, for Mungo Ponton (1802–80), a Scottish inventor who discovered in 1839 that potasium bichromate spread on paper is light sensitive, an important landmark in the development of photography.
