Hochstetterbugten is a broad bay in Greenland, between Hochstetter Foreland and Shannon Island to the north, Kuhn Island to the west, and Wollaston Foreland and the Pendulum Islands to the south. To the east, the bay opens to the Greenland Sea.
The name is said to have been in use from 1929 by Danish hunters, and first appeared on the maps of the 1932 Gefion expedition.[1]
