Lützow-Holm Bay is a large bay, about 220 kilometres (120 nmi) wide, indenting the coast of Queen Maud Land in Antarctica between Riiser-Larsen Peninsula and the coastal angle immediately east of the Flatvaer Islands.
It was discovered by Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in two airplane flights from his expedition vessel, the Norvegia, on February 21 and 23, 1931.
The name honours Commander Finn Lützow-Holm of the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service, a pilot for Captain Riiser-Larsen on the Aagaard in 1935.
[18] High, ice-covered Djupvikneset Peninsula ("deep-bay ness") is named in association with the bay.
[22] On the eastern shore of Havsbotn, the Ystekleppane Rocks ("outermost lumps") protrude through the ice.
[26] One nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast stands Vesleknausen Rock ("tiny crag"), 110 metres (360 ft) high.
[28] Rundvåg Bay is a rounded embayment, the south part of which is occupied by a glacier tongue.
[39][40] Skallen Hills was presumably named by LCE personnel because the outline of the feature on a Norwegian map was suggestive of a skull.
[48] Continuing north, a bare rock headland called Hamnenabben Head ("harbor crag") marks the south shore of Hamna Bay, with the Systerflesene Islands to the west in the water.
[51][52][53] The Langhovde Glacier flows north from the east side of the hills into Hovde Bay.
