Poa Cove

Poa Cove (54°15′S 36°30′W) is a small cove 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km) southwest of Mai Point in the southeast corner of Maiviken, Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. Roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Nordenskjold. Resurveyed in 1929 by DI personnel, and in 1951 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the genus Poa, which includes the tussock grass which grows in profusion near this cove.
