Yellowknife Bay is a 5-meter geologic depression located in the large impact crater known as Gale Crater. The Crater is located on Mars near the northwestern part of the Aeolis quadrangle just south of the planet's equator. The crater's central feature is a 5.5-kilometre-high (18,000 ft) mountain called Aeolis Mons, nicknamed Mount Sharp ...

To Aeolis Mensae's south and west is Gale Crater, with the site of Curiosity rover's landing at Aeolis Pallus being between it and Mount Sharp (Aeolis Mons). Aeolis Mensae lies in the northwest corner of the Aeolis quadrangle, and thus the adjacent features lie in all four nearby quadrangles.
