Goulden Cove

Goulden Cove is the southern of two coves at the head of Ezcurra Inlet in Admiralty Bay on the coat of King George Island in the South Shetland Islands, in the British Antarctic Territory.

The cove was probably named by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who surveyed Admiralty Bay in December 1909. Located at its head is an icefall called Doctors Icefall.

The cove was known to sealers at least from 1822 before being charted by Charcot's expedition. It was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956.
