Macdonald Cove

Macdonald Cove (54°0′S 37°28′W) is a cove indenting the west side of the peninsula which terminates at Cape Buller, on the north coast of South Georgia. The cove is 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) south-southeast of the Welcome Islands and has important fossil occurrences on its periphery. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1982 after David I.M. Macdonald, a British Antarctic Survey geologist in charge of field work on South Georgia, 1975–76 and 1976–77.
