Neny Fjord () is a bay, 10 nmi long in an east–west direction and 5 nmi wide, between Red Rock Ridge and Roman Four Promontory on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica.

Location

Fallières Coast on Antarctic Peninsula.

Neny Fjord is in the east of the larger Marguerite Bay in Graham Land on the Fallières Coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is south of Stonington Island (home of East Base) and Northeast Glacier, west of Trail Inlet and Solberg Inlet, and north of Red Rock Ridge, Hadley Upland and Rymill Bay. Glaciers feeding the fjord are, from south to north, Remus Glacier, Snowshoe Glacier and Neny Glacier. Features of the shore include Providence Cove, Mount Dudley, Billycock Hill, Mount Rhamnus, Mount Nemesis, and Roman Four Promontary. Neny Bay is just north of the fjord. Islands and rocks include Gremlin Island, Pyrox Island and Postillion Rock. Neny Island is just north of the fjord's mouth.

Exploration and name

This coast was first explored in 1909 by Dr. Jean-Baptiste Charcot who, it appears, gave this name to a feature somewhat north of the bay described. The British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) made a detailed survey of this area in 1936–1937, and in correlating their work with that of Charcot applied the name Neny Fjord to the bay between Red Rock Ridge and Roman Four Promontory. The name has become established in this latter position through international acceptance and use.
