The Mizukuguri Cove (from Japanese 水 く ぐ り 浦 Mizukuguri-ura , German 'diving bay' ) is a small bay on the Prince Harald coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It is located 800 m west of Mount Chōtō on the west bank of the Langhovde on the east side of the Lützow-Holm Bay .
Japanese scientists dived here in 1968, which gave the bay its name in 1972. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the Japanese name in 1975 in a partial translation into English.
