Eyrie Bay is a bay, 2.5 miles (4 km) wide at its mouth and extending 3 miles (5 km) inland, lying north of Jade Point, Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica. It was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after an eagle's eyrie because of the proximity to Eagle Island.

Famous quotes containing the word bay:
“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
