The Mateev Cove (English; Bulgarian Матеев залив Mateew saliw ) is a 650 m wide and 290 m long bay on the north shore of the South Bay in the south of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is east of Yasen Point . In the Antarctic summer season 1957/58, the British station P was located at the head of the bay .
British scientists mapped them in 1968, Chilean ones in 1971, Argentine ones in 1980 and Bulgarian ones in 2005 and 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2010 after the Bulgarian physicist Matej Mateew (1940-2010) for his support in the Bulgarian Antarctic program.
