Tortula Cove

Tortula Cove (54°14′S 36°30′W) is a cove close south of Mai Point, on the east side of Maiviken in 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 moss (genus Tortula) which grows in this vicinity.
