New Harbour is a bay about {{convert|10|mi}} wide between Cape Bernacchi and Butter Point along the coast of Victoria Land, due west of Ross Island. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04) and so named because this new harbor was found while the Discovery was seeking the farthest possible southern anchorage along the coast of Victoria Land. The Ferrar Glacier flows into the bay, which overlooked by Mount Barnes, which sits at the eastern end of the Kukri Hills range.^[1]

Explorers Cove indents the harbor at its northwest head. Explorers Cove was named in 1976 by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in recognition of the large number of explorers that have worked in the vicinity of this cove.^[2] Quinn Gully, an ice-free gully at the lower end of Taylor Valley, descends to the seashore here.^[3] On the north side of the entrance is McClintock Point, named by US-ACAN in 1997 for James B. McClintock, Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who studied the benthos of McMurdo Sound west of Ross Island and along the coast from Granite Harbour to Cape Chocolate, including extensive work in New Harbour in proximity to this point.^[4]
