Blind Bay (Antarctica)

Coordinates: 67°31′S 66°32′W / 67.517°S 66.533°W / -67.517; -66.533

Blind Bay is a small bay forming the north-east extremity and head of Bourgeois Fjord and marking the junction of Fallières Coast and Loubet Coast, along the west coast of Graham Land. It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, and so named by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey, following a 1949 survey, because the bay proved a blind alley to sledging parties.
