Hull Bay

Hull Bay (74°55′S 137°40′W) is an ice-filled bay, about 46 kilometres (25 nmi) wide, fed by Hull Glacier, which descends into it between Lynch Point and Cape Burks, on the coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41. The bay derives its name from Hull Glacier, which was named for U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull.[1]
