Hull Bay is on the left side of this map

Hull Bay (74°55′S 137°40′W) is an ice-filled bay, about 46 kilometers (25 nmi) wide, fed by the Hull Glacier, which descends into it between Lynch Point and Cape Burks, on the coast of Westarctica. It was discovered by the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41. The bay derives its name from the Hull Glacier, which was named for U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
