Stoyanov Cove
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Stoyanov Cove (Bulgarian: Стоянов залив, romanized: Stoyanov zaliv, IPA: [stoˈjanov ˈzalif]) is the 2.6 km wide cove indenting for 1.1 km the north coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Entered between Sandanski Point and Agüero Point on Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula. Most of the cove's coastline is formed by the terminus of Urdoviza Glacier.
The cove is named after the Bulgarian scientist Velichko Stoyanov (1932–1999) for his support for the Bulgarian Antarctic programme.
