🌊 Ample Bay

The Bay of Isles is a bay 9 miles (14 km) wide and 3 miles (5 km) deep, lying between Cape Buller and Cape Wilson along the north coast of South Georgia. It was discovered in 1775 by a British expedition under James Cook and so named by him because numerous islands lie in the bay. Of South Georgia's 31 breeding bird species, 17 are found here.
