The Gaul Cove (in Argentina Caleta Exley ) is a bay on the northeast side of Horseshoe Iceland before Fallières coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1959 after Kenneth Mitchell Gaul (1925–1994), first head of the research station of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey on Horseshoe Island in 1955. The name, which is common in Argentina, is named after James Arthur Exley (* 1932) , another geodesic from the survey on Horseshoe Island. The background of the Argentine naming is not known.
