Suspiros Bay

	Suspiros Bay Suspiros Bay is a small bay indenting the west end of Joinville Island just south of Madder Cliffs. The name was proposed by Captain Emilio L. Diaz, commander of the Argentine Antarctic task force (1951–52). The toponym alludes to the difficulties encountered in surrounding the bay. See also Balaena Valley Balaena Valley () is a gently sloping valley, filled with ice, lying east of Suspiros Bay in the western part of Joinville Island.

	Joinville Island Joinville Island is the largest island of the Joinville Island group, about long in an east-west direction and wide, lying off the northeastern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, from which it is separated by the Antarctic Sound. Joinville Island was discovered and charted roughly during 1838 by a French expedition commanded by Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville, who named it for Prince François, Prince of Joinville (1818–1900), the third son of Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans. It is within the Argentine, British and Chilean Antarctic claims. Geography Joinville Island consists of a series of valleys and bays, including Suspiros Bay and Balaena Valley.

	Madder Cliffs The Madder Cliffs are reddish rock cliffs which form the north side of the entrance to Suspiros Bay, at the west end of Joinville Island, Antarctica. They rise steeply from the sea to about . The cliffs were surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1953–54. The name, given in 1956 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, is descriptive of the red colour of the rocks, madder being a red vegetable pigment. Important Bird Area A tract of land at the site has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a large breeding colony of about 22,000 pairs of Adélie penguins which nest on exposed knolls and ridges above the beach. Other birds nesting at the site in smaller numbers include gentoo penguin The gentoo penguin ( ) (''Pygoscelis papua'') is a penguin species (or possibly a species complex) in the genus ''Pygoscelis'', most closely related to the Adélie penguin (''P. adeliae'') and the chinstrap pengui ...

	Toponym Toponymy, toponymics, or toponomastics is the study of '' toponyms'' (proper names of places, also known as place names and geographic names), including their origins, meanings, usage and types. Toponym is the general term for a proper name of any geographical feature, and full scope of the term also includes proper names of all cosmographical features. In a more specific sense, the term ''toponymy'' refers to an inventory of toponyms, while the discipline researching such names is referred to as ''toponymics'' or ''toponomastics''. Toponymy is a branch of onomastics, the study of proper names of all kinds. A person who studies toponymy is called ''toponymist''. Etymology The term toponymy come from grc, τόπος / , 'place', and / , 'name'. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' records ''toponymy'' (meaning "place name") first appearing in English in 1876. Since then, ''toponym'' has come to replace the term ''place-name'' in professional discourse among geographers. Topon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1953–54. The ''Balaena'' (Alexander Fairweather, master) was one of the Dundee whaling ships that visited the Joinville Island group in 1892–93.

picture info	Bays Of Graham Land A bay is a recessed, coastal body of water that directly connects to a larger main body of water, such as an ocean, a lake, or another bay. A large bay is usually called a gulf, sea, sound, or bight. A cove is a small, circular bay with a narrow entrance. A fjord is an elongated bay formed by glacial action. A bay can be the estuary of a river, such as the Chesapeake Bay, an estuary of the Susquehanna River. Bays may also be nested within each other; for example, James Bay is an arm of Hudson Bay in northeastern Canada. Some large bays, such as the Bay of Bengal and Hudson Bay, have varied marine geology. The land surrounding a bay often reduces the strength of winds and blocks waves. Bays may have as wide a variety of shoreline characteristics as other shorelines. In some cases, bays have beaches, which "are usually characterized by a steep upper foreshore with a broad, flat fronting terrace".Maurice Schwartz, ''Encyclopedia of Coastal Science'' (2006), p. 129.
