The Tlachene Cove (English, Bulgarian залив Тлачене saliw Tlatschene ; in the United Kingdom Hopkins Cove ) is a 4 km wide and 3.6 km long bay on the Loubet coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . As a side bay of Darbel Bay , it is located southwest of Kudelin Point and northeast of Gostilya Point . It was exposed when the Hopkins Glacier retreated in the 1980s and 1990s.
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the town of Tlatschene in northwestern Bulgaria . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee , however, named it in 2016 like the Hopkins Glacier after the British Nobel Prize for Medicine Frederick Gowland Hopkins (1861-1947).
