Bone Bay (63°38′S 59°4′W / 63.633°S 59.067°W) is a rectangular bay along the northwest coast of Trinity Peninsula. It is nearly 10 nautical miles (18 km) wide at the entrance between Notter Point and Cape Roquemaurel. The bay and most of its constituent features were charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948, and later named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC). Bone Bay was named after Thomas M. Bone, midshipman on the brig Williams used in exploring the South Shetland Islands and Bransfield Strait in 1820.

| - Die Bone Bay (englisch, in Chile Caleta Bone, in Argentinien Bahía Bone und auch Caleta Bolsón von spanisch bolsón ‚Geldbeutel‘) ist eine rechteckige Bucht an der Nordwestküste der Trinity-Halbinsel im Grahamland auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Sie erstreckt sich zwischen dem Notter Point und Kap Roquemaurel. Der Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey kartierte sie im Jahr 1948. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte sie 1953 nach Thomas Maine Bone (* 1798), Midshipman auf der Brigg Williams unter Kapitän Edward Bransfield bei der Erkundung der Südlichen Shetlandinseln und der Bransfieldstraße im Jahr 1820. Die alternative argentinische Benennung ist dagegen deskriptiv. (de)

Bone Bay was named after Thomas M. Bone, midshipman on the brig Williams used in exploring the South Shetland Islands and Bransfield Strait in 1820. Young Point is a rocky point 3 nmi (5.6 km) south of Cape Roquemaurel at the east side of Bone Bay, named for Adam Young, surgeon on the Williams. There are several named islands and rocks in the bay. Blake Island is a narrow ice-free island 1.5 nmi (2.8 km) long, named for Pattrick J. Blake, midshipman on the Williams. The Whaleback Rocks is a group of low rocks lying 2 nmi (3.7 km) west of Blake Island, descriptively named by FIDS. Boyer Rocks are a small group of rocks in the northeast corner of Bone Bay, 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Cape Roquemaurel, named for Joseph Boyer, a French naval officer on the Astrolabe during her Antarctic voyage (1837–40).
