The Saint Martha Cove ( Spanish Bahía Santa Marta ) is an almost land-locked bay on the West Antarctic James Ross Island . It is located south of Andreassen Point on the northwest side of Croft Bay .
Her name was first recorded on an Argentine map from 1959. Probable namesake is Martha von Bethanien , a figure from the Gospel of Luke in the Bible . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee translated this designation into English in 1964.
