N-most of the Léonie Islands (q.v.), Ryder Bay, Adelaide Island, was charted by the British Graham Land Expedition in February 1936 and so named because with the island on its W side it forms a lagoon; surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Stonington Island' in October 1948. The island was further charted by an RN Hydrographic Survey Unit from HMS Endurance, 1976-77.
