The Lystad Bay (in Argentina Caleta Herradura ), a 4 km wide bay on the west coast of Horseshoe Iceland in the Square Bay at the Fallières coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , surveyed the bay between 1936 and 1937. During the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939-1941) she was visited in 1940 by the ships USMS North Star and USS Bear . The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1956 after Isak Kristian Tønder Lystad (1895-1945), the Norwegian-US captain of the USMS North Star .
