Hope Bay
Hope Bay
Located on the Trinity Peninsula, Hope Bay is 3.1 miles long and 1.9 miles wide. Historian buffs may want to check this out since this is the scene of the first-ever shots-fired-in-anger in Antarctica in 1952 when an Argentine shore party fired a machine gun over the heads of a British Antarctic Survey team unloading supplies from the John Biscoe. It is also home to one of the largest Adélie penguin colonies in Antarctica with around 125,000 pairs.
