Mundraga Bay

Mundraga Bay (Bulgarian: залив Мундрага, ‘Zaliv Mundraga’ \'za-liv mun-'dra-ga) is the 28.6 km wide bay indenting for 23 km Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It is entered east of Fothergill Point and west of Cape Sobral. Local coastline is modified as a result of the Larsen A Ice Shelf disintegration and the subsequent retreat of the inflowing Darvari Glacier, Boryana Glacier, Desudava Glacier, Dinsmoor Glacier, Bombardier Glacier and Edgeworth Glacier in the 1990s and the early 21st century.
