The Kitano-ura Cove (from Japanese 北 の 浦 Kita-no-ura , German 'North Bay' , Norwegian Jurpollen ' Euterbucht ' ) is a bay on the north side of the East Ongul Island off the coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land .
Norwegian cartographers mapped them using aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . In 1957, participants in a Japanese Antarctic expedition made measurements and named them based on the geographic position of the bay. The US Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated the Japanese name into English in 1968.
