The stage Bay ( English is) a 3km wide bay in the east of Elephant Iceland in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It lies between Cape Valentine in the northeast and Walker Point in the southwest.
The bay was exposed by the retreat of Stadium Glacier in the first decade of the 21st century. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them in 2018 based on the name of the glacier, which in turn is derived from the name of the mountain basin The Stadium west of the bay.
