Narrative

Cove on the SW side of Demay Point, Admiralty Bay, King George Island. So named following geological work by BAS, 1975-76. The name derives from the serried row of upended whale skulls along the beach at the head of the cove. After 1979, a Polish Antarctic Expedition referred to this feature as "Rajska Zatoka" (paradise cove).
