The Bulatnaya Bay ( English ; Russian Бухта Булатная Buchta Bulatnaja , German 'sword- shaped bay' ) is a bay on the Ingrid Christensen coast of the East Antarctic Princess Elisabeth Land . In the Vestfold Mountains it is located on the north side of the Langnes Peninsula .
Norwegian cartographers mapped them in 1946 based on aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . Further aerial photos were taken during the US operation Highjump (1946-1947), a Soviet Antarctic expedition in 1956 and during campaigns by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1957 and 1958. In 1973 the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia transferred the Russian name to a partial translation into English.
