King Edward Cove

King Edward Cove (coord|54|17|S|36|30|W|) is a sheltered cove immediately southwest of Mount Duse, in the west side of Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. This cove, frequented by early sealers at South Georgia, was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04, under Nordenskjold. It was named in about 1906 for King Edward VII of England, 1901-10.
