The Fog Bay ( German Nebelbucht ) is a small side bay of the Windless Bight on the south coast of the East Antarctic Ross Island immediately west-northwest of Terror Point .
The three-man winter team on the Terra Nova Expedition (1910–1913) led by British polar explorer Edward Adrian Wilson named them in July 1911 after the thick fog they encountered here.
