Geography [ edit ]
This bay is located very close to the Bering Strait , which lies only a few km to the NE.[1]
The bay is open towards the southeast; it is 45 km in length and has an average width of about 8 km. There are two little islands inside the bay where it narrows forming an inlet. On the southern shore of the bay at Cape Hargilah is the village of Port Lawrence .
NASA picture of the Bering Strait area; St. Lawrence Bay can be clearly seen on the lower left side of the image.
History [ edit ]
British Captain James Cook landed for a few hours in St. Lawrence Bay and met some of the local Chukchi people in August 1778, but he didn't linger in the bay.[2]
This bay was first surveyed by Russian mariner Count Fyodor Petrovich Litke in 1828.
