Krenkel Bay (Russian: Бухта Кренкеля, romanized: Bukhta Krenkelya)[2] is a bay in Severnaya Zemlya, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.

[1] This bay was discovered by the 1930–1932 expedition to the archipelago led by Georgy Ushakov and Nikolay Urvantsev.

Decades later, in 1973, this bay was named after Soviet Arctic explorer and radio operator Ernst Krenkel (1903–1971).

The edge of the massive Academy of Sciences Glacier runs all along the western shore, while the northern shoreline is bound by a stretch of unglaciated area.

[1] Ozerny Island lies close to the northeastern headland of the bay.
