The Dallmann Bay is a bay between Anvers Island and Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It stands next to the open Southern Ocean in connection with the Gerlache Strait and the Schollaert Canal . The Federici Canal forms the eastern section of the bay along the west coast of the Brabant Island.
The German polar explorer Eduard Dallmann (1830–1896) discovered the bay during his Antarctic expedition on the Groenland (1873–1874). The organizer of this expedition, the Deutsche Polar-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft based in Hamburg, named it in honor of Dallmann. The French polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot mapped the bay during the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition (1903-1905).
