Bay of Isles, Protected marine area in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, South Atlantic Ocean.
The Bay of Isles stretches along South Georgia's northern coast, featuring steep cliffs and numerous small islands surrounded by subpolar waters.
Captain James Cook documented this bay during his 1775 exploration voyage, marking it as a significant point for British territorial claims in the South Atlantic.
Scientists and researchers regularly conduct marine biology studies in the bay's waters, examining the behaviors of seabirds and seals throughout the seasons.
Access to the Bay of Isles requires special permits and is limited to organized expeditions between October and March due to weather conditions.
The waters around the bay contain multiple breeding colonies of king penguins and southern elephant seals, making it a center for wildlife observation.
