The Caleta Aguilera ( Spanish ; in Chile Caleta Suazo ) is a 1.1 km wide and just as long bay on the west bank of the Mackellar Inlet in the Admiralty Bay of King George Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located southwest of Caleta Aldea . Your entrance is limited to the south by Crépin Point .
The crew of the Bahía Aguirre named them in the course of an Argentine Antarctic expedition carried out from 1973 to 1974. It is named after José Antonio Olmos de Aguilera (1775–1831), political representative of the Catamarca Province in the Junta Grande of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata in 1810. The Chilean name is named after frigate captain Roberto Suazo Francis, commander of the Piloto Pardo to the rescue of the passengers of the tourist ship Lindblad Explorer, which ran aground off Wiencke Island in 1979 .
