The Finaeus Cove (English; Bulgarian залив Финей saliw Finej ) is a 3.8 km wide and 2.8 km long bay in the northeast of the Magnier Peninsula on the Graham coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is a side bay of Leroux Bay and is located southeast of Vartop Point and northwest of Krasava Point . The Muldawa glacier flows into its head end .
British scientists mapped it in 1971. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the French cartographer Orontius Finaeus (actually Oronce Fine , 1494–1555), whose world map published in 1531 contains a southern continent under the name "Terra Australis".
