History

The name has appeared on maps for over 100 years, and commemorates Edward Hughes, master of the Sprightly, a sealing vessel owned by the London whaling company Samuel Enderby & Sons, which explored in this area in 1824–25.[1][2][3]

Hughes Bay may have been site of the first landing on the Antarctic mainland, by sealers from the U.S. sealing vessel Cecilia under Captain John Davis on February 7, 1821.[4]

Glaciers

The glaciers Tumba Ice Cap, Sikorsky, Mouillard, Cayley, Gregory, Breguet, Blériot, Agalina, Krapets and Zimzelen feed the bay.
