Explorers Cove

Explorers Cove (coord|77|34|S|163|35|E|) is a cove at the northwest head of New Harbor, Victoria Land, on the west side of McMurdo Sound. The name was applied by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1976 in recognition of the large number of explorers that have worked in the vicinity of this cove.
