Bay of Isles : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bay of Isles
The Bay of Isles is a bay wide and receding , 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 (at least twelve) lie in the bay.〔 Many of these islands are named after local birds, including: * Albatross Island (albatross) * Crescent Island * Invisible Island * Mollyhawk Island (mollyhawk) * Skua Island (skua) * Petrel Island (petrel) * Prion Island (prion) * Tern Island (tern) The area, along with Grytviken, is one of two Areas of Special Tourist Interest on the island. Of South Georgia's 31 breeding bird species, 17 are found here. Rosita Harbour is on the west coast of the bay. ==References==
