The Monsimet Cove ( French Anse Monsimet ) is a bay on the south coast of King George Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located 0.8 km west of Hervé Cove on the south side of the Ezcurra Fjord in Admiralty Bay .
Participants of the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908-1910) under the direction of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot mapped them. Charcot named it after a stoker on his research vessel Pourquoi-Pas? . Scientists from the British Discovery Investigations translated the French name into English in 1929.
