The Goulden Cove ( French Anse Goulden ) is a bay on the south coast of King George Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is the southernmost of two bays at the head of the Ezcurra Fjord in Admiralty Bay .
Participants of the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908-1910) took measurements of Admiralty Bay in December 1909, so that the name of the bay described here probably goes back to the expedition leader Jean-Baptiste Charcot . The namesake is not known. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated the French name into English in 1952.
