Shopski Cove
Shopski Cove (Bulgarian: Шопски залив, romanized: Shopski zaliv) is a 2.6 km-wide cove on the southwest coast of Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It indents the coast for about 1.9 km between Triangle Point and the western end of the moraine spit at Provadiya Hook, which protects Yankee Harbour. The cove’s shape has been enhanced by the retreat of Bravo Glacier in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It was visited in the early 19th century by sealers operating from Yankee Harbour. It is named after the Shoppe Region in Western Bulgaria. The cove lies at 62°31′15″S 59°48′40″W. Bulgarian mapping was done in 2005 and 2009.
