The Providence Cove ( English for Bay of Providence ) is a bay bordered by ice cliffs on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located at the mouth of the Remus Glacier in the southeast corner of the Neny Fjord .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , made a first rough survey. Further measurements were carried out between 1940 and 1941 by scientists from the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939-1941), who named the bay because they viewed it as a sign of providence , supposedly quickly and easily found a suitable location for the East Base des Survey to have. The bay soon turned out to be unsuitable for this.
