The Barutin Cove (English; Bulgarian залив Барутин saliw Barutin ) is a 2.05 km wide and 1.03 km long bay on the southwest coast of Snow Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is between Monroe Point in the south and Vokil Point in the north. Their size increased as a result of the glacier retreat towards the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century .
Bulgarian scientists mapped it in 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 after the town of Barutin in southern Bulgaria .
