Narval Bay (54°2′S 37°41′W) is a bay 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) wide in the north side of Ice Fjord, South Georgia. The name North Bay was given to this feature by the Scottish geologist David Ferguson during his visit to South Georgia in 1911-12. Since the same name is well established for an arm of Prince Olav Harbor 20 nautical miles (37 km) away, the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) recommended in 1957 that a new name be substituted for this feature. Narval Bay is named after the catcher Narval, built in 1929, which was owned by the Compania Argentina de Pesca in 1934.
