Andvord Bay (64° 50’ S, 62° 33’ W) on the Antarctic peninsula was again discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897-1899 under Adrien de Gerlach. It was named after Rolf Andvord, the Belgian consul in Christiania (Oslo) at the time. The adjoining Paradise Bay was named by whalers around 1920.

Both bays are surrounded by icy mountains with plentiful icebergs. There are both Argentinian and Chilean bases in this area.
