Holme Bay
Holme Bay is a bay in Antarctica in Mac. Robertson Land, 22 miles (35 km) wide, containing many islands, indenting the coast 5 miles (8 km) north of the Framnes Mountains. Holme Bay is largely snow-free and was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition in January-February 1937, and named Holmevika because of its island-studded character (holme means "islet" in Norwegian) .[1]

gollark: There was also that copyright thing about musical notes recently.
gollark: At least 3 numbers, I'd say.
gollark: Which isn't really a big problem in practice, since the chance of running into sufficiently large numbers by accident is basically zero.
gollark: An interesting consequence of intellectual property and stuff is that since binary data (some of which is copyrighted) is isomorphic to very big numbers, some numbers can't be legally distributed (by everyone).
gollark: Probably a somewhat positive thing in general. But really weird.
