The Lenton Cove is a bay in the southeast of Signy Iceland in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . It is located as a side bay of Clowes Bay northeast of Lenton Point .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveyed the bay between 1947 and 1950. Aerial photographs were taken in 1968 by the Royal Navy . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 2004 based on the name of the headland of the same name. It is named after Ralph Anthony Lenton (1923–1986), FIDS radio operator on Signy Island in 1948.
