The Proshchaniya Bay ( Russian Бухта Прощания Buchta Proschtschanija , German 'Farewell Bay' ) is a bay in the ice shelf off the Princess Martha coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It is located on the southwest side of Neupokoyev Bight .
Norwegian cartographers mapped them using aerial photographs taken between 1958 and 1959 during the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). Soviet scientists re-mapped it in 1961 and gave it its name. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the Russian designation in 1970 in a partial translation into English.
