The Borima Bay (English, Bulgarian залив Борима saliw Borima ) is a 6.5 km wide and 8 km long bay at the Oskar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located as a side bay of the Exasperation Inlet between Diralo Point in the north and Caution Point in the south. The bay was created as a result of the breakup of the Larsen Ice Shelf in 2002 and the subsequent retreat of the Jorum and Minsuchar glaciers .
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 after the town of Borima in northern Bulgaria .
