The Domlyan Bay (English, Bulgarian залив Домлян saliw Domljan ) is a 4.75 km wide and 5.5 km long bay in the Oscar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . As a side bay of the Exasperation Inlet , it lies south of Radovene Point and north of Kalina Point . It was created as a result of the breakup of the Larsen Ice Shelf in 2002 and the subsequent retreat of the Melville Glacier .
The bay was surveyed in 2012. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the town of Domljan in southern Bulgaria .
