Artanes Bay

Artanes Bay (Bulgarian: залив Артанес, ‘Zaliv Artanes’ \'za-liv 'ar-ta-nes) is the 14 km wide cove indenting for 6.2 km Oscar II Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica, and entered west of Cape Fairweather and east of Shiver Point. It was formed as a result of the break-up of Larsen Ice Shelf in the area in 2002, and subsequent retreat of Rogosh Glacier.
