The Caleta Barros (Spanish; in Argentina Caleta Esquitines ) is a side bay of Wilhelmina Bay on the Danco Coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located southwest of a peninsula that extends on the southeast bank of Wilhelmina Bay in a north-northwest direction.
Chilean scientists named it after Ramón Barros González, captain of the Maipo tanker on the 7th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1952–1953). The background of the Argentine naming is not known.
