The Doris Cove ( English ; Bulgarian залив Дорис saliw Doris ) is a 1.3 km wide and 600 m long bay in the southwest of Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is south of Oborishte Ridge and northwest of Ephraim Bluff . The bay was created by the retreat of the Wulfila Glacier in the first two decades of the 21st century.
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2020 after the Oceanid Doris from Greek mythology .
