The Moraine Cove is a small cove on the north end of Mikkelsen Bay at the Fallières coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . An eponymous moraine flows into the bay from the southwestern end of the Pavie Ridge ridge .
The original designation as Moraine Point by the US geologist Robert Leslie Nichols (1904-1995), member of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948), did not prevail.
