The Marr Bay is a bay on the north coast of Laurie Iceland in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . Your entrance is bounded to the west by Cape Valavielle at the northern end of the Watson Peninsula and to the east by Fraser Point .
Participants in the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (1902–1904) under the direction of the Scottish polar explorer William Speirs Bruce mapped the bay in 1903. Participants in the British Discovery Investigations named it in 1933 as a result of their own measurements after the British marine biologist and polar explorer James Marr (1902–1965 ), who was on the zoological staff of the Discovery Investigations Committee.
