The Collins Bay ( Spanish Bahía Collins ) is a bay on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located between Deliverance Point and Cape Pérez in the southwest of the Kiev Peninsula .
The bay was first mapped in 1898 by participants in the Belgica expedition (1897–1899) led by the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the bay in 1959 after Rear Admiral Kenneth St Barbe Collins (1904–1982), head of mapping in the hydrographic department of the British Admiralty .
