The Calmette Bay is a small bay on the Fallières coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located between Camp Point in the northwest and Cape Calmette in the southeast.
It was mapped by the British Graham Land Expedition led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , who named it after the French journalist Gaston Calmette (1858-1914) in connection with the eponymous cape named by the French polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot .
