Newark Bay
Newark Bay is a bay 3 miles long, entered at the southeast end of Fanning Ridge, along the south coast of South Georgia. The presence of this bay seems to have been first noted in 1819 by a Russian expedition under Bellingshausen, who roughly charted a small inlet in this approximate position.| Tap on a place to explore it |
