Desislava Cove

Desislava Cove (Bulgarian: залив Десислава, ‘Zaliv Desislava’ \'za-liv de-si-'sla-va) is the 3.3 km wide cove indenting for 3 km Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land west of Cape Worsley. It was formed as a result of the retreat of Aleksiev Glacier and Kladorub Glacier in the early 21st century. The feature is named after the Bulgarian sebastokratorissa Desislava (13th century).
