S side of Neny Fjord at the terminus of Remus Glacier, Fallières Coast, was roughly surveyed by BGLE in 1936 (Rymill, 1938a, map facing p.432); resurveyed by USAS, 1940-41, and so named because, on the expedition's first arrival, the cove seemed to offer a providential site for the "East Base" (Stonington Island, q.v.) (this in fact was not the case, but the name survived) (Ronne, map, 1943; APC, 1955, p.17; DCS 601 sheet 68 66, 1955). |

Place ID: 11675
Cove bounded by ice cliffs which lies at the foot of Remus Glacier in the SE corner of Neny Fjord, along the W coast of Graham Land. First roughly surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. It was resurveyed in 1940-41 by members of the USAS, and so named by them because on first arrival it seemed providential that a site for the East Base was found so quickly and easily. It was soon determined, however, that the cove did not provide a suitable site for the base. |
