The Geographers Cove ( Russian бухта Географов buchta Geografow, "Bay of geographers ") is a small bay of the Drake Passage at the southwest corner of King George Iceland , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It is located in the southwest of the Fildes Peninsula between Exotic Point and Flat Top Peninsula .
The bay was named after mapping by the 13th Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1968 from Bellingshausen Station on a map from 1973 as бухта Географов . On an English-language map by the same authors, the bay is labeled "Geografov Inlet". The British Antarctic Place-names Committee (APC) translated the Russian name into English in 1980.
In the bay (labeled "Geographenbucht" on the German map from 1984) is the Geographeninsel , and the Geographenbach flows from the Geographensee into the bay.
