The Lützow-Holm Bay ( English Lutzow-Holm Bay , Norwegian Lutzow-Holm Fjord and Lutzow Holmbukta ) is listed on the Prince Harald Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land location bay . It lies between 30 ° and 45 ° E and 60 ° to 70 ° S and is bounded in the east by the Kronprinz-Olav coast and in the west by the Riiser-Larsen peninsula .
The bay was named after the Norwegian pilot Finn Lützow-Holm (1890–1950). He was instrumental in the Antarctic expedition with the ship Norvegia (1929–1930), financed by the Norwegian whaling entrepreneur Lars Christensen , which explored and mapped this region.
The Japanese Shōwa station has been located on East Ongul Island at the eastern end of the bay since 1957 .
