The Mascias Cove (also known as Storm Cove is) a side bay of the Paradise Harbor on the Danco Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located immediately east of Mount Banck .
It was mapped during the Belgica expedition (1897–1899) under the direction of the British polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery and from 1913 to 1914 by the Scottish geologist David Ferguson (1857–1936). It is named after Lieutenant Eladio Mascías, officer on the tug Chiriguano on an Argentine Antarctic expedition from 1949 to 1950.
