Barclay Bay

Barclay Bay (62°33′S 60°58′W) is a bay in Drake Passage lying between Cape Shirreff and Essex Point on the north side of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Its head is fed by Etar Snowfield. The name appears on an 1825 chart of the British sealing expedition under James Weddell, and is now established in international usage.
