Stonehouse Bay
Stonehouse Bay () is a bay in Antarctica on the west side of Laubeuf Fjord, indenting the east coast of Adelaide Island between Hunt Peak and Sighing Peak. The bay is 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide. It was first sighted and surveyed in January 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. The bay was named for Bernard Stonehouse of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), a meteorologist in 1947-48 and biologist in 1949 at Stonington Island and leader of
Institute (part of the University of Cambridge). He retired as editor in 1992 but continued as a senior associate, forming the Institute's Polar Ecology and Management Group, and promoting Antarctic tourism.
Stonehouse married Sally Clacey in 1955; they had two daughters and a son. He died on 12 November 2014. He is commemorated in the names of Stonehouse Bay and Mount Stonehouse.
