The Hull Bay is an approximately 40 km wide and icy bay on the Ruppert coast of the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . The Hull Glacier flows into this bay between Lynch Point and Cape Burks .
It was discovered during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941). The bay, along with the glacier of the same name, is named after the US politician and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Cordell Hull (1871–1955), United States Secretary of State from 1933 to 1944.
