Russell Bay (73°27′S 123°54′W) is a rather open bay in southwestern Amundsen Sea, extending along the north sides of [[Siple Island]], [[Getz Ice Shelf]] and [[Carney Island]], from [[Pranke Island]] to [[Cape Gates]]. It was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] air photos, 1959–66, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Admiral James S. Russell, USN, Vice Chief of Naval Operations during the post 1957–58 IGY period. | |||
