The Rennick Bay is a bay at the Oates Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It lies in the area where the Rennick glacier joins the Somow Sea . It is limited to the west by Belousov Point and to the east by the Stuhlinger Piedmont Glacier .
The eastern part of the bay was discovered by the research vessel Terra Nova during the expedition of the same name (1910-1913) led by the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott . It is named after Henry Edward de Parny Rennick (1881–1914), a ship officer on this expedition. The first photographs were taken during Operation Highjump (1946–1947) and later during the Second Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956–1958).
