The Anna Cove is a side bay of Wilhelmina Bay on the Danco Coast of the Antarctic Graham Lands . It is located immediately south of Cape Anna at the northern end of the Arctowski Peninsula .
The bay was mapped during the Belgica expedition (1897–1899) led by the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery . Like the cape of the same name, it is named after Anna Osterrieth (born Lippens, 1877–1957), the wife of Jacques “Ernest” Osterrieth (1869–1947), a sponsor of the expedition.
