Clio Bay

Clio Bay (Bulgarian: залив Клио, romanized: zaliv Klio, IPA: [ˈzalif ˈklio]) is the 1.8 km wide bay indenting for 1.7 km the west coast of Lavoisier Island in Biscoe Islands, Antarctica. It is formed as a result of the retreat of Lavoisier Island's ice cap in the early 21st century.[1]

gollark: They waste money in other ways and nobody cares much.
gollark: Why isn't some billionaire covering random regions of desert with megastructures? That would be cool.
