The Moubray Bay is a bay on the Borchgrevink Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It lies between Cape Roget at the southern end of the Adare Peninsula and Cape Hallett at the northern tip of the Hallett Peninsula .
The British polar explorer James Clark Ross discovered them in 1841 during his Antarctic expedition (1839–1843). Ross named the bay after George Henry Moubray (1810-1887), administrator on duty on the research vessel HMS Terror .
