Hull Bay lies on the Southern Ocean coast of Marie Byrd Land, and extends from Frostman Glacier to the west and Cape Burks to the east, at the western end of McDonald Heights. Hull Glacier flows in a northwest direction into the bay between Lynch Point and Mount Grey in the Erickson Bluffs. In the northeast of the bay, Garfield Glacier enters the bay between Cox Point, the Erickson Bluffs and Dee Nunatak to the southwest, and the Rhodes Icefall and Peden Cliffs to the northeast. Perkins Glacier enters the bay to the north of Peden Cliffs.
