The Gwynn Bay ( Norwegian Breidvika for width bay ) is a bay on the coast of the east Antarctic Enderbylands . It is located immediately to the west of the mouth of the Hoseason Glacier in the cooperation lake .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named them descriptively, mapped them using aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia renamed it after the Irish biologist Arthur Montague Gwynn (1908-2008), head of the Australian research station on Macquarie Island in 1949.
