Queen Charlotte Bay facts for kids
Queen Charlotte Bay (in Spanish: Bahía San Julián) is a large bay or fjord located on the west coast of West Falkland.

About Queen Charlotte Bay
Queen Charlotte Bay is known for its very twisty and complex shoreline. It has many small coves, inlets, and peninsulas that make its edge look like a maze. Because it is on the west coast, it often experiences strong westerly winds. These winds can make the waters rough.
Islands in the Bay
Several islands are found within Queen Charlotte Bay. The largest and most well-known are Weddell Island and Fox Island. These islands add to the bay's natural beauty and provide homes for various wildlife.
