The Iceberg Bay (English for iceberg bay ) is a 5 km wide bay on the south coast of Coronation Island in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . It lies between Cape Hansen and Olivine Point .
The Scottish navigator Matthew Brisbane (1787–1833), captain of the Beaufroy of London during James Weddell's third Antarctic voyage (1822–1824), made a rough map of the south coast of Coronation Island in 1823 and named the bay descriptively.
