MacKenzie Bay is a relatively small embayment of the western extremity of the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica, about 20 nautical miles (37 km) northeast of Foley Promontory. On 10 February 1931 the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) sighted a much larger embayment here and made an airplane flight to sketch its limits. They named it "MacKenzie Sea" after Captain K.N. MacKenzie, the master of the expedition's ship Discovery in 1930–31. Breakout of a large part of Amery Ice Shelf has drastically reduced the size of this feature; in 1968 the bay was 15 nautical miles (28 km) wide. Several Norwegian whaling ships sighted the original embayment nearly simultaneously with BANZARE; the whale-catcher Seksern (Captain Brunvoll) reached this area on 13 January 1931 and

  • Die MacKenzie Bay ist eine kleine Bucht an der Küste des ostantarktischen Mac-Robertson-Lands. Sie ist eine Einbuchtung des westlichen Ausläufers des Amery-Schelfeises und liegt rund 30 km nordöstlich der Foley Promontory. Teilnehmer der British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE, 1929–1931) unter der Leitung des australischen Polarforschers Douglas Mawson sichteten hier am 10. Februar 1931 eine sehr viel größere Bucht, deren Ausdehnung sie bei einem Überflug erkundeten. Sie gaben dieser Bucht den Namen MacKenzie Sea nach (1897–1951), Schiffsführer der RSS Discovery bei dieser Forschungsreise von 1930 bis 1931. Kalbende Eisberge des angrenzenden Schelfeises verringerten im Verlauf der Jahre zunehmend die Größe der Bucht, die im Jahr 1986 eine Breite von nur noch 24 km aufwies. Weitere Sichtungen erfolgten parallel zur BANZARE durch mehrere norwegische Walfänger, darunter die Seksern unter Kapitän Arnold Brunvoll (1898–1932) am 13. Januar 1931 sowie die Torlyn unter Kapitän Klarius Mikkelsen (1887–1941) am 13. Februar 1931. Die Benennung wurde der veränderten Größe des Objekts angepasst. (de)
