Telefon Bay


Telefon Bay is a small bay on the north-west coast of Port Foster, Deception Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It is surmounted by Telefon Ridge. The name appears on the chart of the French [Antarctic Expedition] under Charcot, 1908–10.
The name derives from the ship SS Telefon, which was repaired here.

Antarctic Specially Protected Area

The bay forms part of an Antarctic Specially [Protected Area], comprising several separate sites on Deception Island, and designated as such primarily for its botanic and ecological values.
