The Holme Bay is a bay of Kooperationssee involved in the Mawson Coast of the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Lands around 8 km north of the Framnes Mountains lies.
Norwegian cartographers mapped it using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 . They named her Holmevika after the numerous islands (Norwegian: holmen ) that are in the bay. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated the name into English in 1947 .
