Cumberland East Bay

It was remapped during 1926–29 by Discovery Investigations personnel and renamed "East Cumberland Bay", which is more descriptive of its geographic position.

[1] On 22–24 April 1982, during the Falklands War, the British Special Boat Service attempted to cross Cumberland East Bay.

They had landed in Hound Bay, and traversed the Sörling Valley, but were prevented from attacking Argentine positions by incessant ice and snow.

Working south along the west coast, the next major feature is King Edward Cove, approximately 2.2 nmi (4 km) southwest.

The name "Sandebugten" appears on a 1929 British Admiralty chart but probably was applied earlier by Norwegian whalers operating from South Georgia.
