King Edward Cove

Central South Georgia: Cumberland Bay; Thatcher Peninsula with King Edward Cove and the Allardyce Range behind

King Edward Cove is a sheltered cove immediately southwest of Mount Duse, in the west side of Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia, at 54°17'S 36°30'W.

This cove, frequented by early sealers at South Georgia, was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04, under Nordenskjold. It was named in about 1906 for King Edward VII (1901-10).

On the shores of King Edward Cove is the capital of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the tiny settlement of King Edward Point, seat of the Administrator and post office.
