The Browns Bay is a 2.5 km wide bay on the north coast of Laurie Iceland in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands between Pirie Peninsula in the west and the Ferguslie Peninsula in the east. Your entrance is between Thomson Point in the west and Cape Geddes in the east.
Participants of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (1902–1904) mapped the bay in 1903. Expedition leader William Speirs Bruce named it after the Scottish botanist Robert Neal Rudmose Brown (1879–1957), a member of the expedition.
