The Whistling Bay (in Argentina Bahía silbido , both sides translated Whistling Bay ) is a 6 km wide and 4 km long bay on the Loubet coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located at the southwest end of the Arrowsmith Peninsula . Your entrance is limited to the north by Longridge Head and to the south by Cape Sáenz .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , carried out a first survey in 1936. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveyed the bay again in 1948 and also named it. It was named after the strange and indefinable whistling noises that the FIDS scientists heard during their surveying work.
