The Hervé Cove ( French Anse Hervé ) is a bay on the south coast of King George Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located 3 km southwest of Point Thomas on the south side of the Ezcurra Fjord in Admiralty Bay .
Participants of the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908-1910) under the direction of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot mapped them. Charcot named it after one of the sailors on his research vessel Pourquoi-Pas? . Scientists from the British Discovery Investigations translated the French name into English in 1929.
