The Killermet Cove is a bay at the southwest end of Bryde Island before the Danco Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is north of Rudolphy Point .
The bay is first shown on an Argentine map from 1950. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after an incident in which three scientists from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey escaped from killer whales in their dinghies in May 1957 while circumnavigating Bryde Island .
