Terra Nova Bay is a bay which is often ice free, about {{convert|64|km|mi|abbr=on}} long, lying between Cape Washington and the Drygalski Ice Tongue along the coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica.^[1] It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (known as the Discovery Expedition) under Scott, 1901–1904, and named by him after Terra Nova, one of the relief ships for the expedition.^[1] The Italian permanent Zucchelli Station is located in the bay, as is the Jang Bogo Station of South Korea.

Antarctic Specially Protected Area

A marine area of 29.4 km² of the bay comprising a narrow strip of coastal waters about 9.4 km long, to the immediate south of Zucchelli Station, and extending to a maximum of 7 km from the shore, has been designated an Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA 161). It is an important site for long-term research on the marine ecology of benthic communities. As well as rich and complex sponge and anthozoan communities, the site supports a colony of Adélie penguins.^[2]
