Atlas Cove

Atlas Cove

Atlas Cove (coord|53|1|S|73|22|E|) is a cove on the north coast of Heard Island, entered between the base of Laurens Peninsula and Rogers Head. Named by American sealers after the schooner sealing fleet which landed at Heard Island in 1855. The name appears on a chart by the British expedition under Nares, which visited the island in the "Challenger" in 1874 and utilized the names then in use by the sealers.

From 1947 until 1955 Atlas Cove was the site of camps of visiting scientists, which was in 1969 again occupied by American scientists and expanded in 1971 by French scientists.
