The Desislava Cove (English, Bulgarian залив Десислава saliw Dessislava ) is a 3 km long and 3.3 km wide bay at the Nordenskjöld Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located west of Cape Worsley and was created by the retreat of the Aleksiev and Kladorub glaciers at the beginning of the 21st century .
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the Bulgarian Sebastokratorissa Dessislawa from the 13th century .
