[2] On 13 October 1992 a United States Navy Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter crashed in bad weather in Wohlschlag Bay near Cape Royds.

[3] A stratospheric balloon used in the Japanese American Collaborative Emulsion Experiment (JACEE) came down in Wohlschlag Bay off Cape Royds on 23 December 1993.

With a monospecific population of Nitzschia stellata, a common ice alga, studies suggested that there was no grazing activity.

[6] However, samples of zooplankton from near the sea edge of the fast sea-ice in Wohlschlag Bay shows much the same mix as further south in McMurdo Sound, apart from higher densities of the pteropod Limacina helicina.

The density of zooplankton was low, and dominated by small copepods such as Oithona similis, Ctenocalanus citer and Oncaea curvata, particularly in depths under 100 metres (330 ft).

The feature is 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) long and forms the south part of Wohlschlag Bay.

A point 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) northeast of Cape Royds on the west side of Ross Island.
