Hanusse Bay

Hanusse Bay is a broad bay, 37 kilometres (20 nmi) long in a general north-south direction, lying between the northern portions of Adelaide Island and Arrowsmith Peninsula, Antarctica. The bay was discovered and first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and named by him for the director of the Hydrographic Service of the French Navy.[1] Liard Island lies in the northern portion of the bay.
