  Eastern Dallmann Bay off Brabant Island, Palmer Archipelago.

  Latitude 63 53 S to 64 20 S, longitude 62 16 W to 62 45 W.

  Dallmann Bay (between latitudes 63° 53 S and 64° 20 S and from longitude 63° 16 W eastward to the western shore of Brabant Island) is situated approximately 65 km west of the Antarctic Peninsula, between Brabant Island and Anvers Island, with Bransfield Strait to the north and Gerlache Strait to the south.

  The designated Area is defined in the south by latitude 64° 20 S, extending from Fleming Point westward for two kilometres to 62° 40 W. From this location, the western boundary extends due north on longitude 62° 40 W for 18.5 km to 64° 10 S, south‑south‑west of Astrolabe Needle. The western boundary then extends north‑north‑west almost 19 km to 62° 45 W, 64° 00 S. The western boundary then extends approximately 13 km due north on longitude 62° 45 W to latitude 63° 53 S, the northern boundary of the Area. The northern boundary extends along latitude 63° 53 S from 62° 45 W to 62° 16 W, being a distance of approximately 23.4 km. The eastern boundary extends due south approximately 16 km from 62° 16 W, 63° 53 S to the eastern extremity of Pasteur Peninsula, Brabant Island, at 62° 16 W, 64° 02 S. From there, the eastern boundary is defined as the mean high water mark of the northern and western coastline of Brabant Island, which includes the intertidal zone within the Area. The Area is 50 km from north to south and extends up to a maximum of 23.4 km east-west. West of Brabant Island the width of the Area ranges between 10 km (at Guyou Bay) and 1.5 km (near Claude Point). The total area is approximately 580 km2.
