  • Die Winter Quarters Bay (englisch für Winterquartierbucht) ist eine kleine Bucht am südöstlichen Ausläufer der antarktischen Ross-Insel. Sie liegt unmittelbar östlich des Hut Point. Teilnehmer der Discovery-Expedition (1901–1904) unter der Leitung des britischen Polarforschers Robert Falcon Scott entdeckten und benannten sie. Namensgebend ist der Umstand, dass hier das Forschungsschiff RRS Discovery zur Überwinterung festgemacht wurde und in den antarktischen Wintern der Jahre 1902 und 1903 vom Eis eingeschlossen war.

  • La baie des Quartiers d'hiver (en anglais : Winter Quarters Bay) est une petite baie du détroit de McMurdo en Antarctique. Elle est située à 3 500 km au Sud de la Nouvelle-Zélande, près de l'île de Ross. L'« embarcadère de glace » est situé dans la baie pour servir de port pour le fret à destination des bases antarctiques McMurdo et Scott. Le nom de « quartiers d'hiver » fait référence à l'expédition Discovery (1901-1904) de Robert Falcon Scott qui hiverna sur le site deux années. * Portail de l’Antarctique * Portail du monde maritime (fr)
  • Winter Quarters Bay (in italiano baia del rifugio invernale) è una piccola baia del canale McMurdo in Antartide. Localizzata ad una latitudine di 77° 51' S e ad una longitudine di 166° 37' E ed attrezzata con alcuni moli galleggiante è considerata il porto più meridionale della Terra. La baia è larga approssimativamente 250m per altrettanti di lunghezza e raggiunge una profondità massima di 33 metri. Prende il nome dal fatto che la nave Discovery dell'omonima spedizione (1901-04) di Robert Falcon Scott passò due inverni ancorata nell'area. (it)

The name Winter Quarters Bay refers to Robert Falcon Scott's National Antarctic Discovery Expedition (1901–04) which wintered at the site for two seasons. A small peninsula on the southern tip of Ross Island forms the natural harbor at Winters Quarters Bay which offers shelter for ships. The harbor has served the few ships able to penetrate McMurdo Sound's 8 to 12 ft (2.4 to 3.7 m) pack ice ever since the Discovery Expedition (1901–04). Today, two ships assisted by an icebreaker annually arrive at Winter Quarters Bay with fuel and cargo to re-supply the adjacent U.S. McMurdo Station at 77°50′S 166°40′E / 77.833°S 166.667°E. The cargo operations also support nearby Scott Base and field stations throughout Antarctica. More than 50 years of activity at McMurdo Station has severely polluted the bay. (en)

  • Winter Quarters Bay é uma pequena enseada localizada no estreito de McMurdo, a leste da Península Hut Point, na Antártida. Situada a cerca de 3 500 km ao ao sul da Nova Zelândia é o porto mais meridional do Oceano Antártico. Medindo cerca de 250 m largura atinge uma profundidade de até 33 metros. Ela leva este nome pelo fato do navio RRS Discovery que deu nome a Expedição Discovery também conhecida como Expedição Antártica Nacional Britânica (1901-1904) liderada por Robert Falcon Scott ter passado dois invernos ancorados no local. A Estação McMurdo base científica que pertence aos Estados Unidos está instalada no local. (pt)
