"...naming prominent features along the rim after places visited by the Victoria during the first circumnavigation of the Earth."
Steve Squyres Did anyone find a relation between Duck Bay and Magellan's voyage?...I didn't...There is one (Baía dos Patos) in Santa Catarina (Brazil) but I don't know if the expedition passed there... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Having just read a book on Magellan's circumnavigation (or rather his fleet's circumnavigation), I believe they are referring to Bahia de los Patos in Argentina (he named it in Portuguese) somewhere around 48 degrees South. The "ducks" actually turned out to be Penguins. Fascinating book BTW. |

The "ducks" actually turned out to be Penguins. Fascinating book BTW. Thanks for that babakm!  That's it!: "After two weeks the ships had reached Cape St Mary where Magellan is reputed to have said of the large hill behind the Cape "I see a mountain" ("Montem Video") thereby naming the place where Uruguay's capital city now stands. They explored the estuary of the River plate, ruling out any possible channel and then continued South with the weather growing increasingly colder, the terrain bleaker and the seas rougher before stopping briefly at Bahia de los Patos (literally Ducks' Bay) named after the abundant penguins found there. The penguins along with sea lions provided the necessary fresh food suplies and after sheltering from tremendous storms they continued southwards." I was looking for a connection in Argentina, because of Patagonia... In Portuguese is Baía dos Patos and I couldn't found anything... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

The name (bahia - pronounced ba-'i-a, h not pronounced, stress on second syllable) is an archaic spelling of the Portuguese word meaning "bay" and comes from "a baía de Todos os Santos" (All Saints' Bay...) (Bahia is a state of Brazil...) Don't know if it's relevant, but it seems the name Duck's Bay couldn't be any clearer with Odave's drawing of the duck!
