The Delisle Inlet (English; Bulgarian залив Дьолил saliw Djolil ) is an icy, 8.4 km wide and 12.7 km long bay on the Wilkins coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located on the southeast side of the Hollick Kenyon Peninsula, southwest of Cape Keeler and northeast of Cape Mayo .
British scientists mapped them in 1963 and 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named 2013 after the French cartographer Guillaume Delisle (1675–1726), whose map of South America published in 1700 also shows the island of Roché ( South Georgia ).
